1996 was the season that was meant to mark Ferrari's resurgance in Formula One. In part it was true, but some of that new found speed was most certainly down to Michael Schumacher. It would have been better still if the car had managed to stay together a little longer at some races.

1997 will require a car that is not only fast, but also reliable. If Ferrari fail then it's public knowledge that heads will roll.
