Description[]
The Ferrari 156 F1 was a Formula One car designed and manufactured by Scuderia Ferrari for use in the 1961 Formula One World Championship. Designed by Vittorio Jano and Carlo Chiti and nicknamed the Sharknose due to its distinctive appearance, the 156 was powered by a Ferrari 178 1.5L V6 making 190 horsepower, mated to a 5-speed manual. Driven by an array of drivers including Richie Ginther, Wolfgang von Trips and eventual 1961 Formula One World Champion Phil Hill, the car won four races in 1961. Ferrari's 1961 season was marred by von Trips's death at the Italian Grand Prix, although Hill's victory at the same event granted Hill the championship and assured Ferrari of their Constructors' Championship that year, the first of what would become sixteen championships. Six chassis were produced; per Ferrari factory policy at the time all remaining chassis were destroyed, but two replicas were later constructed.
