TheMinardi M190 was aFormula One car designed byAldo Costa andTomasso Carletti and built byMinardi for the1990 Formula One season. The car was powered by theCosworth DFRV8 engine and ran onPirelli tyres. It failed to score any points for Minardi.
The Minardi M190 was the last Faenza-basedFormula One car to run onPirelli tyres untilToro Rosso STR6 in2011.
Minardi had used theM189 for the first two races of the season but without finishing in the points, before the M190 debuted in the third race of the season, theSan Marino Grand Prix, driven by ItaliansPierluigi Martini andPaolo Barilla. Martini failed to start the race after an accident in practice while Barilla qualified 26th on the grid. He went on to finish 11th, which would prove to be his best finish of the year.[1]
After a series of failures to qualify for races towards the end of the season, Barilla was replaced by fellow ItalianGianni Morbidelli for the last two races of the year. Morbidelli's qualifying performances were better but he failed to finish either race he started.[1]
The M190 did not score any points for Minardi in the Constructors' Championship. Its best result was Martini's 8th place atJapan.[1]
The M190 kept its yellow, black and white diagonal striped livery from 1989. The departure ofLuis Pérez-Sala also meant Lois left as the main sponsor, after three seasons, being replaced by Italian woodwoorking company SCM Group.
