LOVELY looking car. But the most unreliable Ferrari ever made...
Even looking at just the two Ferrari's mentioned on this page alone, the FA92A is the more unreliable.
I couldn't be bothered to look at how many were accidents, so this is just retirements.
FA92A: 32 starts, 20 DNFs
F310: 32 starts, 16 DNFs (17 including a classified DNF)
For the record, the 1989 Ferrari, which had something of a reputation for being particularly unreliable, managed to retire 19 times out of 32 starts... 12 of those were Gerhard Berger's, and he didn't even start 1 race! He only finished 3 times all season! Mansell retired 7 times, and he was disqualified from a further two other races.
I'm sure if we look back, there'll be a zillion records of unreliable cars from the turbo era... and then is the BRM team.
