HISTORY

The Ferrari 246 took part in the Formula One World Championship in 1958. The Maranello house entrusted the project of the car to Medardo Fantuzzi’s engineer, a veteran of the experience in Maserati, the car an old style, despite the innovations presented by the English opponents, had a great reliability.
Mike Hawthorn with the Ferrari 246 won the 1958 world championship. The british rider, famous for racing with the bow tie, won only the French Grand Prix during the season, but thanks to the five second places he conquered the world championship for a point in the confrontation of compatriot Stirling Moss at the wheel of the Vanwall. Ferrari unfortunately also took into account the death of Luigi Musso at the GP French and Peter Collins at the GP German.
