【F1】1991年フットワーク・ポルシェV12はなぜ遅かったのか？失敗の原因はデザイナーだったのか

In this video, we look at one of Formula 1’s most infamous failures: the 1991 Footwork FA12 powered by the Porsche V12. Why was the Porsche 3512 V12 so uncompetitive, and was the engine the only problem? This video explores the technical, political, and design factors behind one of the worst F1 projects of the early 1990s. Source We cover the background of the Footwork project, the transition from the earlier chassis concept, the arrival of Alan Jenkins, the weight and packaging issues of the Porsche V12, the disastrous early testing, the team’s poor results in qualifying, and the eventual switch away from the Porsche engine. We also examine whether the designer made the situation even worse instead of helping solve it.
