Ferrari F1 156 Sharknose 1961 Belgium GP Ginther 1:18


loading...

This is the Ferrari F1 156 Sharknose #6 3rd 1961 Belgium GP Richie Ginther in 1:18 scale by WERK83.

The Ferrari 156 “Sharknose” #6, driven by American racing star Richie Ginther at the 1961 Belgian Grand Prix, delivered a strong third-place finish at Spa-Francorchamps, completing all 30 laps and helping Ferrari achieve a dominant 1-2-3-4 result. Ginther was an exceptionally smooth and technically minded driver who scored three podiums for Ferrari during the 1961 season. The 156 was revolutionary for its mid-engine layout and 1.5-liter 120-degree Dino V6, combining a very light chassis with excellent aerodynamic efficiency. Its distinctive twin-nostril “Sharknose” front air intakes became one of the most recognizable designs in early-1960s Formula 1. The #6 was chassis 0001, powered by Ferrari's high-revving V6 and running on Dunlop tires, and its exceptional power-to-weight ratio made it particularly effective on Spa's fast, sweeping circuit.
