SHARKNOSE V6: FERRARI 156, FERRARI 246SP & FERRARI 196SP

The story of the mid-engined “Sharknose” Ferraris is one of glory and drama. Outstanding victories, such as winning the Formula 1 Championship in 1961 with American driver Phil Hill, are inextricably linked with profound tragedies–for example, the death of Wolfgang von Trips and fifteen spectators at the 1961 Italian Grand Prix in Monza. Newcomer Giancarlo Baghetti, on the other hand, is immortalised in the record books with three wins in his first three Formula 1 appearances–including the World Championship race in Reims. The team’s sporting decline in 1962, after a glorious season the year before with seven Grand Prix victories, is pure drama.
