In 1961, Ferrari won its first constructors’ title with its first rear-engined car. In the two previous seasons, the world champion Cooper Climax car driven by Black Jack Brabham made front-engined single-seaters obsolete, even Enzo Ferrari surrendered to the evidence and his team put on track the 156 F1 anticipated by two prototypes. The 156F1, called sharknose due to its distinctive double nose air intake, makes its debut at the ’61 Monaco Grand Prix.
