"The Ferrari F310, and its evolution, the F310B, were the Formula One racing cars with which the Ferrari team competed in the 1996 and 1997 seasons. It was driven in both years by Michael Schumacher and Eddie Irvine. Double-champion Michael Schumacher held truth on his 1995 promise that in 1996 we will win three grand prix, then in 1997 we will challenge for the championship by taking the challenge to the last round. He was, however, unable to hold off a storming drive by title challenger Jacques Villeneuve; a botched attempt by Schumacher at defending his position ended up with him in the gravel, retired, and eventually disqualified from the 1997 season results. The team nonetheless retained their constructors' points. In total, the F310 and F310B won eight Grand Prix, were on the podium 22 times, and achieved 7 pole positions and 172 points!
