- Tyrrell 024
The Tyrrell 024 was the car with which the Tyrrell team competed in the F1|1996
Formula One season. It was driven byUkyo Katayama andMika Salo , who were in their fourth and second seasons with the team respectively.The car was a significant improvement over the ineffective F1|1995 model, prompting Salo to say that they shouldn't be talked about in the same day. ["A Champion And A Gentleman - The Official Review of the 1996 FIA Formula 1 World Championship" Duke Marketing Ltd. (VHS Tape, 1996).] However, the team's efforts were severely compromised by the unreliability of their Yamaha engines, a decision which resulted in the team switching to Ford V8 power for F1|1997.
Salo was generally impressive throughout the season, scoring vital points finishes on three occasions. He again overshadowed Katayama, who moved to
Minardi for 1997.The team eventually finished eighth in the Constructors' Championship, with five points.
