Description of the original vehicle: The 1961 racing season was dominated by two Ferrari pilots: the American Phil Hill and the German Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips. Von Trips was known for the gallant way he carried himself, which conquered the hearts of his fellow countrymen like a fire. Both men won one victory after another for the Scuderia.
Beside their driving skills, they also owed their successes to the superb performances of the race car that Ferrari had developed for them. It was specially made for the occasion following a change of the F1 regulations that took effect in 1961. Consequently, only cars with a maximum displacement of 1.5 litres were allowed to participate. The most eyecatching trait of the new Ferrari race car was a pointed front-end, with the nostrils of ventilation intake shaped like jaws. This very special look was responsible for the nickname "Sharknose".
The final title-fight took place between Graf Berghe von Trips and Phil Hill on September 10, 1961 in Monza. The German pilot had collected 33 points, and the American, only 29. For the first time, von Trips started off from the pole position. But it did not work out quite well for him, since he was almost losing sight of the leading drivers. Nonetheless, he did not give uo, managing to overtake Brabham first and then Clark. Now, he was shifting to the outside of the track in anticipation of the loop ahead, but he overlooked that Clark was close in his wake, running a counter move. In a split second, Clark`s Lotus hit the rear axle of the Ferrari. The two cars collided, sending the Ferrari overturning twice before it was thrown into a fence. Behind the fence was crowd of spectators standing close to the rails. Von Trips catapulted out of his cockpit and died immediately. 15 people of the audience were killed with him. It was one of the darkest days in the history of racing.
Phil Hill won the race to become the first American Formula 1 World Champion. At the same time Ferrari also won the Constructors World Championship title.
