A Brief History of the Ferrari 412 T2 & the 1995 Season

The Ferrari 412 T2 was the Scuderia’s 1995 Formula One contender and marked the final chapter of Ferrari’s V12 era. Designed by John Barnard and Gustav Brunner, the 412 T2 was an evolution of the previous year’s 412 T1, refined to meet new FIA regulations that included a reduction in engine capacity to 3.0 litres. It featured a 75-degree V12 engine, a more aerodynamic profile, and a raised nose design. While it was a beautifully engineered machine and produced one of the most distinctive engine notes in F1 history, the 412 T2 was not the most competitive car on the grid, often outpaced by the dominant Williams-Renault and Benetton-Ford teams.

Despite its limitations, the car demonstrated moments of promise during the 1995 season. Jean Alesi, driving alongside Gerhard Berger, delivered Ferrari’s only victory that year at the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal. It was a hugely emotional win – Alesi’s first and only Formula One victory – and it came on his 31st birthday. The win was made even more poignant by the number 27 on his car, famously associated with Gilles Villeneuve, another Ferrari hero. Alesi inherited the lead when Michael Schumacher’s Benetton encountered gearbox issues, and he maintained it to the finish, greeted by a euphoric Ferrari pit wall and crowd.

Later in the year, a significant moment in Ferrari’s modern history occurred when Michael Schumacher, freshly crowned double World Champion with Benetton, tested the 412 T2 at Estoril. Though still under contract with Benetton, Schumacher was permitted to test the Ferrari after the season ended, giving both parties an early sense of what would become one of the most iconic partnerships in F1. At Estoril, Schumacher quickly adapted to the 412 T2, impressing the Ferrari engineers with his technical feedback and consistent pace. This test marked the beginning of a new era for Ferrari, one that would eventually bring them back to championship glory in the early 2000s.

The Ferrari 412 T2 remains a sentimental favourite among fans – not only for its aesthetics and sound but for symbolising the end of Ferrari’s V12 legacy and the beginning of Schumacher’s transformative journey with the team.
