Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 Results (1960-1969)
Ferrari has competed in every Formula 1 season since its inception in 1950. Here is a comprehensive overview, including details on drivers, points, and both Drivers' and Constructors' Championships results.
1960
After Dan Gurney's move to BRM and Tony Brooks' shift to BRP, Wolfgang von Trips returned to Scuderia Ferrari as a full-time driver. Meanwhile, future Formula 1 Champion John Surtees made his debut with Lotus during the 1960 Formula 1 season. At the Monaco Grand Prix, the second race of the season, Cliff Allison, also driving for Ferrari, suffered a significant crash during practice. This would be his last appearance in a Ferrari single-seater, as he spent the rest of the season recovering. In the following season, 1961, Allison joined Lotus but experienced another severe crash, leading to his retirement from motorsport.
During the 1960 season, Scuderia Ferrari competed with 246 chassis cars. In rounds 2 (Monaco) and 9 (Italy), Wolfgang von Trips and Richie Ginther also drove the Ferrari 246 P chassis. Unlike the traditional front-engine 246 chassis, the 246 P featured a rear-engine design, marking Ferrari’s first foray into this configuration. The car's best result came in Italy, where Wolfgang von Trips secured a fifth-place finish.

1961
In 1960, Ferrari transitioned into a limited company, with Enzo Ferrari as the primary shareholder, leading to the addition of the S.p.A. (Società per azioni, similar to a PLC) abbreviation. SEFAC, which stands for Società Esercizio Fabbriche Automobili e Corse, was the designation used for Ferrari's racing department.
With that context, 1961 marked a triumphant year for Ferrari as they secured another Formula 1 Championship. Phil Hill led the charge, driving the all-new Ferrari 156. This car featured a mid-mounted 1.5-liter V6 engine and was nicknamed the "sharknose" due to its distinctive air intake "nostrils." Wolfgang von Trips finished second in the championship standings, with all Ferrari drivers using the 156 chassis.
Tragically, during the Italian Grand Prix, von Trips collided with Jim Clark. His car veered off the track, ejecting him fatally and causing the death of 15 spectators in what remains Formula One's deadliest accident. Following the tragedy, Ferrari withdrew from the final race of the season but still secured both the Drivers' and Constructors' Formula 1 Championships.

1962
After the great success of 1961, when Phil Hill won the Formula 1 Championship with Scuderia Ferrari, expectations were high for the 1962 season. However, Graham Hill driving for BRM, Jim Clark for Team Lotus, and Bruce McLaren for Cooper Car Company proved too strong for Ferrari, its drivers, and the Ferrari 156 racing cars.
Stirling Moss was set to drive for Scuderia Ferrari in 1962, but a severe accident during the non-championship Glover Trophy left him in a coma for a month. In his place, Giancarlo Baghetti was given the opportunity. Baghetti had already shown his potential by winning the 1961 French Grand Prix and multiple non-championship races in a privately-run Ferrari.
Tragically, Scuderia Ferrari faced another devastating loss when Ricardo Rodríguez crashed during practice for the Mexican Grand Prix. Rodríguez, the youngest driver ever to race for Ferrari, also became the youngest F1 driver to die in the sport's history.

1963
The 1963 Formula 1 season saw future World Champion John Surtees join the Scuderia Ferrari team. Willy Mairesse and Ludovico Scarfiotti were his main teammates, with Lorenzo Bandini stepping in for Mairesse after a serious crash at the German Grand Prix left him with a broken arm. Roberto Lippi also made a one-off appearance, driving a De Tomaso-Ferrari equipped with the same 1.5-liter V6 engine that powered Ferrari's 156 chassis.
Phil Hill, the 1961 champion, and his teammate Giancarlo Baghetti had left Scuderia Ferrari after the 1962 season to join ATS, a new team formed by ex-Ferrari employees. This group, which included chief engineers Carlo Chiti and Giotto Bizzarrini, had broken away from Ferrari following the "palace revolt" of 1961.
Despite Ferrari's efforts, Lotus-Climax and BRM, led by Jim Clark, Graham Hill, and Richie Ginther, dominated the season, taking the top three positions in the championship. John Surtees, in his first year with Ferrari, finished in fourth place.

1964
John Surtees secured the Drivers' Championship with Scuderia Ferrari, marking his first and only title. The competition was intense, with Graham Hill accumulating 39 championship points, making it one of the closest title races in history. This was only the third time in F1 history that the championship was decided in the final race, and for the first time, three drivers and three manufacturers were all in contention for their respective titles. Ferrari also claimed the International Cup for F1 Manufacturers.
The Italian car manufacturer ATS entered the 1963 season with their own chassis, intending to challenge Ferrari. However, after a season plagued by technical issues, they withdrew from the sport. Their driver, Phil Hill, who won the 1961 championship with Ferrari, subsequently moved to Cooper.
In 1964, Enzo Ferrari fiercely protested against the Automobile Club d'Italia over the homologation of the Ferrari 250 LM. As a result, the Ferrari cars were entered by the American privateer North American Racing Team (NART) and were painted in white and blue, the national colors of the United States, instead of the traditional red.
Throughout the season, Ferrari demonstrated their commitment to development by using three different chassis: the 156, 158, and 1512.

1965
The 1965 Formula 1 season proved to be a challenging one for Scuderia Ferrari, facing stiff competition from BRM and Lotus-Climax. Despite strong efforts from drivers John Surtees and Lorenzo Bandini, who secured podium finishes in South Africa, Monaco, France, and Great Britain, the dominant performances of rivals made success hard to attain. Jim Clark, in particular, was formidable, winning six races, while Graham Hill claimed two victories and Jackie Stewart secured one in his debut season. As a result, the highest finish for a Scuderia Ferrari driver was fifth place.
Ferrari fielded two chassis that season: the 158, equipped with a 1.5-liter V8 engine, and the 1512, powered by a 1.5-liter flat-12 engine designed by Mauro Forghieri.

1966
In 1966, tensions arose between 1964 champion John Surtees and Ferrari's management. Operations manager Eugenio Dragoni prevented Surtees from competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, favoring Fiat chairman Gianni Agnelli's nephew, Ludovico Scarfiotti. When CEO Enzo Ferrari also failed to support Surtees, the British driver parted ways with the team after just two races. Surtees then joined Cooper Car Company, where he completed the remainder of the season driving the Cooper-Maserati T81, which was powered by a 3.0-liter V12 engine.
The 1966 Formula 1 season was notable for a major regulation change by the FIA, which increased the maximum engine displacement from 1.5 liters to 3.0 liters. Scuderia Ferrari and Reg Parnell Racing alternated between the 246 and 312/66 chassis. Meanwhile, Cooper-Ferrari used their T73 chassis for Chris Lawrence, but upgraded it with a 3.0-liter V12 GTO engine, replacing the previously used Climax-V8 or Ford-L4 engines.

1967
After winning the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans with Ferrari’s biggest rival, Ford, Chris Amon was offered a seat on Ferrari's F1 team. He competed in 10 of the 11 races that season, collecting 20 points, with his best results being four third-place finishes. However, poor results in the last three races—finishing seventh, retiring, and placing ninth—saw him drop in the rankings, eventually finishing fifth in the drivers' championship.
The 1967 Formula 1 season also brought tragedy. Lorenzo Bandini crashed at the Monaco Grand Prix. After losing an early lead, he clipped the chicane at the harbor front, hitting a hidden mooring. His car flipped and caught fire. Despite efforts from marshals, Bandini died three days later from his injuries.
Ferrari re-hired Mike Parkes that season, but his career ended after a serious crash at the Belgian Grand Prix. With several accidents, a fatality, no race wins, and only a fifth-place finish in the Constructors' Championship, it was a difficult year for Ferrari. During the season, Ferrari used the 312/66 and an updated 312/67 chassis, powered by a 3.0-liter V12 engine.

1968
The full-time drivers for Ferrari in the 1968 Formula 1 season were Chris Amon and Jacky Ickx, both finishing in the top 10 of the Drivers’ Championship. Ickx claimed his first career Grand Prix victory at the French Grand Prix at Rouen-Les-Essarts. Andrea de Adamich made one appearance, while Derek Bell raced twice for Ferrari that year. Despite being a rising star, Bell retired in both the Italian and United States Grands Prix, and his Formula 1 career never matched his later success in sports car racing, including five Le Mans victories.
The 1968 season was also a pivotal year for safety in the sport, with four drivers—Jim Clark, Mike Spence, Jo Schlesser, and Ludovico Scarfiotti—losing their lives in fatal crashes. It was the last season where all races were run on tracks with minimal safety modifications.
Ferrari used various iterations of the 312 single-seater during the season, all powered by a 3.0-liter V12 engine.

1969
Scuderia Ferrari fielded just three drivers during the 1969 Formula 1 Season. Chris Amon started the first six races before being replaced by Pedro Rodríguez for the remainder of the season. Ferrari did not participate in the German Grand Prix. Tino Brambilla was scheduled to drive Rodríguez's car in the Italian Grand Prix. However, Brambilla only took part in qualifying, and Rodríguez ultimately entered the race, finishing in sixth place and scoring a single point.
Amon's season started promisingly after the opening race in South Africa. He secured pole positions in three of the next four races (Spain, Belgium, Netherlands), but persistent mechanical issues limited his success, resulting in just one championship point from those races. Despite his struggles, Amon never qualified lower than fifth for the remainder of the season. He came close to winning at the British and Canadian Grands Prix, but his campaign was marred by a high-speed crash in Italy, where his car was destroyed after a 100 mph accident.
Ferrari used the 312/68 and 312/69 chassis throughout the season, but it was largely a transitional year for the team as it underwent restructuring. The 1969 season was effectively a stepping stone, with the Ferrari 312B introduced for the 1970 Formula 1 season as Ferrari’s next competitive car.
