Development

For the 1992 season, team owner Giuseppe Lucchini took over Ferrari's engine supply arrangement with Minardi. This arrangement provided the team with Ferrari V12 engines, although to 1991 specification. The chassis, designed by Gian Paolo Dallara, was a development of the previous year's car but adapted for use with the new engine, which required a larger fuel cell. It was the only 1992 car to use a high front wing with deep end plates which, after the first race of the year, were supported by cables.[2]

The team's drivers both complained about the handling of the car[2] and consequently aerodynamics and the suspension were refined continuously throughout the year.[3] The results achieved by the end of the European stage of the season were not what was expected and for the following season, Lucchini had decided to use a chassis designed by Lola. This ended a five-year relationship with Dallara.[2]

Race history

The Dallara F192 was generally a midfield runner and only finished in the points twice, both times in the hands of new recruit Pierluigi Martini, who had been signed from Minardi. He finished sixth in a rain-affected race in Spain and the following Imola race. His teammate JJ Lehto regularly finished in the top ten, with a best placing of 7th.[3]
