These poor hapless Ferrari mechanics were hard at it changing the 3 litre Flat 12 engine once again.
1973 was one of Ferraris worst years in Formula One. It finished fourth in one race only !
This engine and 6 speed transmission were too underpowered and unreliable.
As I mentioned earlier, Jackie Ickx, left the team after this race to drive for others until Ferrari could get it's act together.

Note the sophisticated equipment (block and tackle !) and custom fit overalls !
(compare that to the McLaren mechanics)
