Osella FA1F No.21 Brazil GP 1986 Piercarlo Ghinzani in 1:43 scale
This is the Osella FA1F No.21 Brazil GP 1986 Piercarlo Ghinzani in 1:43 scale by Spark.
At the 1986 Brazilian Grand Prix in São Paulo, Italian racer Piercarlo Ghinzani started the season in the Osella FA1F No. 21, a modest Formula 1 car powered by an Alfa Romeo 890T turbo engine that struggled for competitiveness against the dominant teams. Unfortunately, Ghinzani was forced to retire early with engine trouble and did not finish the race, a pattern that would sadly repeat for much of Osella’s 1986 campaign as limited resources and chronic reliability issues kept them at the back of the grid. What set this race apart was that it was the season opener on the fast and abrasive Jacarepaguá circuit, where the increasingly extreme demands of the turbo era exposed the weaknesses of small independent teams like Osella more starkly than on slower tracks — underlining both the grit of drivers like Ghinzani and the vast performance gulf in mid-1980s Formula 1.
