Photo Gallery «Technology in race cars (7): Ferrari 156 - The shark in the pool of garage owners»
When the Formula 1 regulations for 1961 were based on Formula 2 with 1.5-liter engines, Ferrari had the best cards. Nevertheless, they built a new car with a mid-engine and raced at the front right from the start, eventually winning the world championship. The Ferrari 156 with 65- and 120-degree V6 was the measure of all things in the 1961 season; the British garage teams had no chance. No car survived. This article from the series "Technology in racing cars from 1958 to 1978" looks at the Ferrari 156 in detail and shows it in historical and current images.
