| Ferrari Dino 156 F1, 1961 Sharknose |
The 1961 Formula 1 season came up with
a completely new rule type. The racing teams had to switch their engines
from 2.5 to 1.5 liters. Ferrari found itself in a very good position.
They had developed a V6 mid-mounted engine with a 120 degrees cylinder
angle and a maximum output of 190 hp. The new 156 F1 had a very unusual
front design. So pretty soon, many people gave it the nickname Sharknose.
Technically and ostensibly, the 156F1 was the most successful
development in 1961.
The season ended for the Scuderia with
a large success but also with a disastrous tragedy. Phil Hill became the
first American Formula 1 World Champion. The German Ferrari star
Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips, that led the ranking for most of the
season, became involved in a deadly accident in Monza. Never before joy
and teariness was that close on just one day.
Our three different models represent
all different successful GP appearances of the 156 F1 during the 1961
season. As a matter of course, all three models will reflect the special
features of the respective race.
