Among all the current Formula 1 teams, there is only one that has been on the grid since the beginning of this championship: Ferrari. With only a few exceptions, the racing cars from Maranello have competed in every Grand Prix. In the first year, 1950, however, the team only managed two second places and one third. It wasn’t until 1951, with the newly developed Ferrari 375 F1, that this flaw was remedied. Aurelio Lampredi was responsible for the powerful V12 engine. Ferrari took further podium finishes at the Swiss, Belgian and French Grand Prix. The Italians skipped the race in the USA, the Indianapolis 500, like most of the other European teams entered in the championship. At the fifth round of the season, the British Grand Prix, Jos\u00e9 Froil\u00e1n Gonz\u00e1lez finally scored the first victory for the Ferrari team. Two more victories followed directly in Germany and Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chassis number 005 was sold<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Only very few examples of the racing cars of that time remain to this day. Ferrari scrapped many cars after the seasons, as they were no longer needed. Others crashed during racing events and weren’t rebuilt. Accordingly, it is amazing to see a 375 F1. The example with chassis number 005, driven by Alberto Ascari to the two victories in Germany and Italy in 1951, recently received an extensive restoration. This took place in the Classiche department of Ferrari in Maranello. After the end of the 1951 season, Ferrari had sold this 375 F1 to privateer Francisco “Chico” Landi, who had it repainted yellow. In doing so, he wanted to remind people of his Brazilian origins. In 1952, he entered the race car in a number of events in Europe and South America.<\/p>\n\n\n
