Page "John Barnard" Paragraph 8

When Barnard joined Ferrari the team had not won a Grand Prix since the 1985 German Grand Prix and the designer had been able to name his terms.

Given a large sum of money by the team to set up a design office in England, Barnard founded the Ferrari Guildford Technical Office and began work on returning Ferrari to regular winning.

Gerhard Berger won the last 2 races of the season followed by a lucky victory at the Italian Grand Prix in September 1988 in a season of total domination by McLaren, whose MP4 / 4 had been designed by Steve Nichols, his former colleague, and Gordon Murray.
