The Ferrari F189, also known as the Ferrari 640, was used by Scuderia Ferrari during the 1989 season and was one of the most innovative racing cars of its era. This historic model is associated with the era of modern technology in Formula 1 – it was the first car to use a semi-automatic, electronically controlled gearbox, which was a groundbreaking innovation in the sport. At the Portuguese Grand Prix, this vehicle was driven by renowned drivers Nigel Mansell and Gerhard Berger.
