Ferrari F1 156 Sharknose #2 WC Winner 1961 Italy GP 1:18


loading...

The Ferrari 156 “Sharknose” #2, driven by American Phil Hill at the 1961 Italian Grand Prix at Monza, delivered one of the most historically significant victories in Formula 1. Hill started fourth and won the 43-lap race, becoming the first American to win the Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship; he also secured Ferrari’s first Constructors’ Championship. The 156 was revolutionary, featuring a mid-mounted 1.5-liter 120-degree Dino V6 producing about 190 hp at 9,500 rpm, a lightweight tubular-steel chassis, four-wheel disc brakes, and distinctive twin angled “sharknose” air intakes. Hill’s #2 is particularly important because its Monza victory clinched the championship by just one point, making this Ferrari one of the most historically significant Grand Prix cars ever built.
