6 September in Ferrari history: Clay Regazzoni’s first F1 win
6 September connects two Ferrari victories at Monza. John Surtees won the Italian Grand Prix on this date in 1964, while Clay Regazzoni achieved his first Formula 1 victory there in 1970.
1970: Clay Regazzoni becomes a Grand Prix winner
Clay Regazzoni completed the Italian Grand Prix ahead of Jackie Stewart and Jean-Pierre Beltoise. His winning margin was 5.730 seconds after 68 laps.
The result came during his first Formula 1 season and gave Ferrari a home victory with a new race winner. Jacky Ickx and Ignazio Giunti retired in the other Ferrari entries, leaving Clay Regazzoni to deliver the team’s result.
1964: John Surtees wins during his title campaign
On 6 September 1964, John Surtees won at Monza ahead of Bruce McLaren. Lorenzo Bandini finished third, while Ludovico Scarfiotti was classified ninth.
The victory was John Surtees’ second of the season, following his German Grand Prix success. It became an important contribution to the championship campaign that would be decided at the final round in Mexico.
Both races belong to Ferrari’s long relationship with its home Grand Prix. The broader Formula 1 statistics section provides further driver and race records.
