1955
Juan Manuel Fangio secured his second consecutive World Championship title, marking his third overall victory and the last championship win for a Mercedes driver until 2014. However, 1955 was a year full of motorsport disaster. Manny Ayulo and Bill Vukovich lost their lives during the Indianapolis 500, Mario Alborghetti died at the non-championship Pau Grand Prix, Alberto Ascari lost his life testing a Ferrari 750 Monza at Monza and the Le Mans disaster claimed the lives 83 spectators and ex-Formula 1 driver Pierre Levegh.
Apart from one race appearance for Equipe Nationale Belge, only the Scuderia Ferrari team competed in this season. Previous privateers either went to other constructors or quit altogether. Ferrari used the 625 and 555 chassis with Eugenio Castellotti finishing third in the Drivers’ Championship.

1956
In 1956, only two drivers from Scuderia Ferrari's 1955 lineup remained: Eugenio Castellotti and Paul Frère. Frère competed in just one race for Ferrari, the Belgian Grand Prix, where he scored 6 points. The most significant addition to the team was Juan Manuel Fangio, who joined after Mercedes withdrew from motor racing following the 1955 Le Mans disaster.
Scuderia Ferrari competed with D50 and Ferrari 555 chassis. The D50 was originally a Lancia car, but after the tragic death of Ascari in 1955 and Lancia's financial difficulties, the team's assets were transferred to Ferrari. Meanwhile, former Ferrari-privateer Louis Rosier suffered a fatal crash at Montlhéry in a Ferrari 750 Monza, succumbing to his injuries three weeks later.

1957
After winning the 1956 Formula 1 Championship with Scuderia Ferrari, Juan Manuel Fangio returned to Maserati and secured the 1957 title with a remarkable 21-point lead over Stirling Moss, who finished second with 25 points. Scuderia Ferrari brought Mike Hawthorn back to the team, and all factory team drivers raced with the Ferrari 801 chassis, an evolution of the Lancia-Ferrari D50. Scuderia Centro Sud only participated in the 1957 Argentinian Grand Prix, entering a Ferrari 500 chassis with Alejandro de Tomaso (who later founded De Tomaso Automobili in 1959) as the driver. Unfortunately, 1957 was also marked by tragedy for Ferrari. Eugenio Castellotti died on March 14 during a private test at Monza while driving a Ferrari Tipo 801. Alfonso de Portago lost his life on May 12 when a tire on his Ferrari 335 S blew out during the Mille Miglia, killing both his navigator and nine spectators.

1958
British driver Mike Hawthorn, racing for Scuderia Ferrari, won the Drivers' Championship after a close battle with Stirling Moss, thanks in part to Moss's sportsmanship during a penalty dispute following the Portuguese Grand Prix. Despite Moss winning four races to Hawthorn's one, the points from the Portuguese round allowed Hawthorn to claim the title. 1958 was the first year where the Formula 1 World Constructors' Champion was awarded. Scuderia Ferrari used Ferrari 246 chassis for this season, which was the first V6-engined car to win a Formula 1 Grand Prix and the last front-engined car to win a Formula 1 Championship. Sadly, Ferrari also mourned the deaths of Luigi Musso at the French Grand Prix and Peter Collins at the German Grand Prix.

1959
Racing legend Dan Gurney began his Formula 1 career at the 1959 French Grand Prix, driving for Scuderia Ferrari. Unfortunately, his race ended after 19 laps due to a faulty radiator. Jean Behra, Tony Brooks, and Cliff Allison were also part of the team that season. Behra was dismissed after a heated argument with team manager Romolo Tavoni, which escalated when Behra punched Tavoni. He then moved to Porsche but tragically lost his life just days later in a crash during the German Grand Prix. Throughout the season, Scuderia Ferrari used both 246 and 156 chassis, with Tony Brooks finishing second and Phil Hill finishing fourth in the Drivers' Championship.
