Was sitting in the Sud Tribune in the rain at Hockenheim in '83 and saw Peroni flip.  It was his last ride in a Ferrari.

In the great coffee table book “The Cruel Sport” by Robert Daley somewhere it states that some of the 50’s and 60’s drivers preferred Ferrari F1 cars over the other marques because they were so heavy and therefore must be safer.  Unfortunately the cars had a nasty habit of making one-half flip and riding out a shunt upside down on the ¾ inch roll bar and windshield.  Bummer Taffy – that’s bad for morale

I think the Ferrari is heavier so it makes a better impression, when it falls on you!

It is the same engine except the Stratos is much lighter.

Doug, you mention the fascination with the Dino 246?

While it is nice to look at, it is also chunky at 2800 lbs?

Always wondered why a car that small was so heavy.

The Lancia Stratos on the other hand...
