  • Originally known as its designated project number 640, the Ferrari F1-89 was Ferrari’s entry into the 1989 FIA Formula One World Championship. Driven by future World Champion Nigel Mansell and Gerhard Berger, the F1-89 was the first Ferrari chiefly conceived by innovative British designer John Barnard. Complicated technology and communications difficulties with Barnard, who was working from England at the time, dragged out the car’s development. However, when it finally did emerge, it was seen by the other constructors, thanks to its incredible pace and extremely clean-looking form, as a shining example of superb engineering and aerodynamics. The F1-89 was powered by a naturally aspirated 65-degree V12 cylinder engine, with 600 bhp at 12,000 rpm, and sported a sharp nose, with a narrow monocoque and bulging side-pods designed to house the radiators with maximum aerodynamic efficiency. With innovative aerodynamics and pushrod suspension with torsion bars instead of the classic coil springs, the F1-89 was fitted with a revolutionary semi-automatic gearbox, activated by the driver on the steering wheel. The semi-automatic gearbox was Barnard’s solution to the problem of the long manual actuation mechanism, but it was Ferrari who had pioneered this technology a decade earlier, eventually postponing the project due to a lack of advanced electronics at the time. Though the gearbox proved to be unreliable during the season, hampering Ferrari’s efforts, it more than proved its worth, and such gearboxes would become the norm by the mid-1990s.

    Nigel Mansell, personally selected by Enzo Ferrari, joined the Scuderia for the 1989 season, partnering with Gerhard Berger. ‘Il Leone’ made a quick impression, winning the season-opening race in Brazil. The potential of the car was clear; on outright pace alone, the F1-89 was a leader. However, the reliability of the new technology soon proved to be the major concern for Ferrari and neither driver would see the chequered flag until the French Grand Prix six races later. There were to be no races in which both drivers finished, as the F1-89 suffered nineteen retirements from a possible thirty, including five double retirements, and yet, when the F1-89 reached the chequered flag, it never failed to finish on the podium. Mansell would win again in Hungary, as well achieving as second place finishes in the French and British Grand Prix and third places in Germany and Belgium. Berger only managed to finish three races all season, winning in Portugal and achieving second place finishes in Italy and Spain. Despite the poor reliability, the F1-89 would earn 59 points towards the Constructors’ Championship, allowing Ferrari to claim third place behind McLaren and Williams.

    This 1:8 scale model is of the Ferrari F1-89 as raced by Nigel Mansell and Gerhard Berger during the XLII Shell British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit on the 16th of July 1989. Mansell qualified in third at Silverstone with Berger in fourth, behind the McLarens of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost. The Ferrari duo started the race cleanly, letting their main rivals battle into the first corner. Berger pulled into the pits with electrical issues, rejoining the race several laps later. Senna span into the gravel on the entry to Becketts on lap 12, due to gear selection issues, promoting Prost into the lead and Mansell into second. The leading pair extended their lead over the rest of the field, Prost maintaining a slim advantage over the British racer. On lap 42, Mansell developed a puncture on his front right tyre, forcing him to pit, handing full advantage to the Frenchman. Prost was delayed on his own scheduled pit stop but returned to the track with a healthy lead over Mansell. Prost reached the chequered flag 19 seconds ahead of Mansell, with a further 29 second gap to the Benetton of Alessandro Nannini completing the podium. Berger ultimately retired on lap 49 with a mechanical issue.

    The 1:8 scale model of the Ferrari F1-89 is limited to only 199 pieces.

    Not indestructible, but well worth it
    Color: GT-2P, Color: GT-2P
    First things first…it’s solid, literally. Very hard and if you have tile or wood floors, it’s ridiculously loins when it hits the floor. With that said, we’ve had our dogs chewing on these for about a month now. All 3 are aggressive chewers. As you can see in my pic, there are signs of chewing on the ends of the bone. I’ve noticed they all seem to gravitate towards them assuming they think they can chew through it. Not the case. The material itself made of is hard but I almost think they enjoy the feeling of the bone against their teeth and gums. I regularly watch our biggest chewer lay on the couch for what seems like hours just biting on it. The bone itself has held up extremely well and haven’t shown any signs of splintering, breaking, or falling apart. This making us feel the bone is safe considering how much they love to chew and how well it’s held up. It looks like a bone. This seems to be a factor in them wanting and/or seeking it out when they want to chew on something. Great to keep close in the living room and gets almost immediate engagement from all of them when I pull it out. Well worth it if you have problem dogs that chew everything and anything. Great as a distraction and from what we’ve seen, great for hours of engagement. Highly recommend for sure.

    Excellent toy for aggressive chewer dogs!!!
    Color: GT-2P, Color: GT-2P
    These treats are super heavy duty! My German shepherd is a good eater. This includes chewing on many things that are not make to be dog toys. I need to keep her occupied and chewing toys that are made specifically for aggressive chewers. She’s quite wily and can usually take apart those supposed aggressive chewers toys very fast. That’s why I love these toys. They actually are for aggressive chewers and keep my best friend busy chewing for days! I love that you can add soft treats or doggy toothpaste to the grooves in these. The raised bumps on the toy are also supposed to help clean teeth. A dog toy that helps with bad breath? I will take two please! Plus, love that these can be cleaned easily, even in the dish washer, and have long lasting bacon scents that my girl loves. In all seriousness, these are strange looking but very functional chew toys. They do not make a mess (other than my dog drooling all over - haha). You can even add doggy peanut butter! Perfect for big dogs and aggressive chewers. I would caution against using for any elderly dog and or dog that doesn’t have strong teeth. Good value for the price (a little over $5 each on sale) considering how long these toys last. Also a good gift.
