COMMENT: Harry Ferguson Research Limited was a British company founded by Sir Harry Ferguson and mostly known as a racing car constructor and a 4WD transmission systems supplier. Harry Ferguson was part owner of the famous Massey-Ferguson tractor company, but in late 1950s he decided to exit that business and set up Ferguson Research Ltd. Over the next few years he sold off his interest in Massey-Ferguson and turned to the construction of a Coventry-Climax powered 4WD Formula One car in 1960. Despite the death of Harry Ferguson later that year, the Ferguson P99 was raced during 1961 season in UK F1 races by Rob Walker's team. The car raced only once in the World Championship at the British Grand Prix.

1961 Jack Fairman GB NIL (Cooper Coventry-Climax)
1961 Stirling Moss GB NIL (Moss was badly injured in a crash at Goodwood while driving a Lotus in the Glover Trophy. The accident put him in a coma and partially paralyzed the left side of his body. He recovered but decided to retire from racing after a private test session the next year. During this session, he lapped a few tenths slower than before, and did not feel he had the command of the car to which he was accustomed. Many racing and medical observers have speculated that Moss simply tried to return too soon -- that another six months of recovery and training would have allowed him to regain most of the physical acuity that distinguished him. He made a brief comeback in the British Touring Car Championship in 1980 with Audi, and in recent years has continued to race in historic cars.During his career, Moss drove a private Jaguar, and raced for Maserati, Vanwall, Cooper, and Lotus, as well as Mercedes-Benz. He preferred to race British cars stating "Better to lose honorably in a British car than win in a foreign one". The British cars were often uncompetitive and this was considered the reason he never won the drivers' championship. At Vanwall, he was instrumental in breaking the German/Italian stranglehold on F1 racing (as was Jack Brabham at Cooper). Moss remained the most successful English driver in terms of wins until 1991 when Nigel Mansell overtook him, after competing in many more races.)

FERRARI

TEAM: FERRARI
NATIONALITY: I
INCEPTION: 1950
COMMENT: Scuderia Ferrari is the name for the Gestione Sportiva, the division of the Ferrari automobile company concerned with racing. Though the Scuderia and Ferrari Corse Clienti continue to manage the racing activities of numerous Ferrari customers and private teams, Ferrari's racing division has completely devoted its attention and funding to its Formula One team, Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro. Scuderia is Italian for "stable", and Ferrari refers to Enzo Ferrari, the founder of the company. The prancing horse was the symbol on Italian World War I ace Francesco Baracca's fighter plane, and became the logo of Ferrari after the fallen ace's parents, good friends with Enzo Ferrari, asked him so, to continue his tradition of sportsmanship, gallantry and boldness. Scuderia Ferrari was founded in 1929, and raced for Alfa Romeo until 1939. Ferrari first competed in F1 in 1948 (the team's first F1 car was the Tipo 125 F1), making it the oldest team left in the championship and statistically the most successful one (with a record of 15 drivers' championships and 16 constructors' championships won). The team's numerous and ardent Italian fans are known as tifosi, though the team also has a vibrant international following.

1950 Clemente Biondetti I NIL (Biondetti continued to compete in sports car and endurance events, earning a second place finish in a Ferrari at the 12 Hours of Pescara in 1952 against much younger drivers. After suffering from cancer for a number of years, he was forced to retire in 1954. He died in Florence early the following year at 57 years old.)

Ferrari
1955 Maurice Trintignant F 4th (11 pts.) (Vanwall)
1955 Giuseppe Farina ARG 5th (10 pts.) Farina attempted a comeback in 1955, dosing himself with painkillers and scoring a couple of points finishes. However, conceding defeat, he retired from Formula 1 at the end of the season. In 1956 he made a half-hearted attempt at the Indianapolis 500, crashing in the process, only to break his collar bone after a crash at a minor race at Monza. Again he recovered and tried the Indy 500, but this time his team-mate had a fatal crash while practicing in Farina's race car, and Farina decided to give up for good. A notable character in early World Championship Grand Prix racing, Farina was noted for his driving style and intelligence, but also his petulant streak and his disregard for his fellow competitors on the race track. He was involved in the fatal accidents of Marcel Lehoux in the 1936 Grand Prix de Deauville and László Hartmann at Tripoli in 1938. It was ironic that after all the injuries he sustained in the latter part of his career, it was in a car crash that he finally lost his life at Chambery in France whilst driving at the 1966 French Grand Prix.
1955 Mike Hawthorn GB NIL (Owen Racing Maserati)
1955 Umberto Maglioli I 21st (1 pt.) (Scuderia Guastalla/Officine Alfieri Maserati)
1955 Johnny Claes B NIL (Claes contracted tuberculosis. Claes sold his outfit to Swaters, who merged it with his own Ecurie Francorchamps to form Ecurie Nationale Belge. Claes entered occasional events until the end of the year, but finally succumbed to the disease in 1956, aged 39. Besides motor racing, Claes was also an enthusiast of jazz music, a jazz trumpeter and successful bandleader in Britain.

1956 Paul Frére B 7th (6 pts.) (Although Frére retired from F.1., he also won the 1960 24 Hours of Le Mans, driving for Ferrari with fellow Belgian teammate Olivier Gendebien. After retiring from active racing in 1960, he worked as an automotive journalist based in Europe (he was the European Editor for Road & Track magazine). Paul Frère died on 23 February 2008 in Saint-Paul-de-Vence (France). Turn 15 at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, formerly the first part of the Stavelot corner, has been renamed in his honour.

1957 Eugenio Castellotti I NIL Castellotti was killed at only 26 years old during a private Ferrari test session at the Modena Autodrome. Castellotti was testing a new Ferrari for the 1957 12 Hours of Sebring. He crashed against a curve of the Autodrome and his body was hurled 100 yards critically fracturing his skull.
1957 Cesare Perdisa I NIL In March, Perdisa withdrew from the upcoming 12 Hours of Sebring after the death of his teammate Eugenio Castellotti during practice.
Ferrari
1958 Mike Hawthorn GB WORLD CHAMPION (42 pts.) After winning the title, Hawthorn immediately announced his retirement from Formula One. Months later, on 22 January 1959, Hawthorn died in an automobile accident on the A3 Guildford bypass driving his British Racing Green highly tuned Jaguar 3.4-litre sedan. What happened that day is still an unknown, but it is assumed he was racing against Rob Walker's 300 SL Mercedes in bad weather.
1958 Peter Collins GB 5th (14 pts.) Collins scored his third and final career victory at the British Grand Prix, as well as taking a third place at Monaco. Hawthorn also won in France, but the two were chasing Tony Brooks' Vanwall at the German Grand Prix when disaster struck. Pushing hard to keep pace, Collins lost control of his car and, in Hawthorn's direct sight, spun off the track, disappearing over a bank. During the ensuing accident Collins was thrown clear of the Ferrari, hit a tree and sustained critical injuries to his head. Despite being airlifted to hospital, Collins died later that afternoon.
1958 Luigi Musso I 8th (12 pts.) Perdisa picked up two second place finishes in his first three races of the season but was killed in an accident during the French Grand Prix at Reims. His Ferrari hurtled off the course on the 10th lap of the 50 lap race. He was thrown off the Reims' track at the tricky Muizone Curve while holding second place.
1958 Phil Hill USA 10th (9 pts.)
1958 Wolfgang von Trips D 11th (8 pts.) (Porsche but returned to Ferrari towards the end of the season.)

1959 Wolfgang von Trips D NIL
1959 Jean Behra F NIL (Behra raced the first four races with Ferrari then switched to Porsche. during the German G.P., his Porsche fishtailed and lost control on a steep bank. Behra was thrown from his car and died on impact. Behra was buried in Nice, France six days after the crash in which he died on August 1. In between there were three funeral services. 3,000 mourners in Nice lined the streets from wall to wall. The first funeral service was in Berlin, followed by another in Paris. Conspicuously absent among those present in the racing community was Enzo Ferrari. He dropped Behra as a factory driver ten days before his death and sent no remembrance to the funeral masses.
Ferrari (24 pts. 3rd)
1960 Phil Hill USA 5th (16 pts.) (Drove for Cooper-Climax last couple of races.)

“Sharknose” Ferrari (40 pts. 1st)
1961 Phil Hill USA WORLD CHAMPION (34 pts.)
1961 Wolfgang von Trips D 2nd (33 pts.) The 1961 Italian Grand Prix would have been the culmination of von Trips' career, as a third place would have been sufficient to secure the Formula One World Drivers Championship that year. At the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, his Ferrari collided with Jim Clark's Lotus. His car became airborne and crashed into a side barrier, fatally throwing von Trips from the car, and killing fifteen spectators.
1961 Richie Ginther USA 5th (16 pts.) (Owen Racing BRM)
1961 Giancarlo Baghetti I 9th (9 pts.)

1962 Lorenzo Bandini I 12th (4 pts.) (Switched to BRM at the beginning of ‘63, but returned to Ferrari by mid-season.)
1962 Ricardo Rodriguez MEX 13th (3 pts.) Rodríguez was considered a potential future champion but was left without a drive when Ferrari opted not to enter the non-Championship 1962 Mexican Grand Prix. He signed to drive Rob Walker's Lotus, but died during the first day of practice, when he inexplicably failed to brake for the fearsome Peraltada corner, and entered the banked turn far too fast, hitting the barriers at the exit. He was 20 years old and his death provoked national mourning in Mexico.
Ferrari (26 pts. 4th)
1963 John Surtees GB 4th (22 pts.)

1967 Chris Amon NZ T-4th (20 pts.)
1967 Lorenzo Bandini I NIL In May 1967 Bandini was racing at the Monaco Grand Prix, running second to Denny Hulme on the 82nd lap, when he lost control of his car at the harbour chicane. He had just entered an S-turn when his Ferrari's left rear wheel hit the guard rail, sending him into an erratic skid. It struck a light pole and overturned. The car hit straw bales which lined the harbour side, rupturing the
fuel tank, and sparks ignited the fuel as the car rolled over, with Bandini trapped beneath it. Marshals flipped his car upright and pulled Bandini, unconscious, out from the flaming Ferrari. Bandini's burns were extensive, with third degree burns covering more than 70% of his body. Three days later he succumbed to his injuries.
1967 Ludovico Scarfiotti I 10th (9 pts.) (Anglo-American Eagle)
1967 Mike Parkes GB 16th (2 pts.) Parkes' Formula One career ended after he broke both legs in a crash at the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix, but he raced into the 1970s in sports cars. He was killed in a road accident in 1977.

1970 Jackie Ickx B 2nd (40 pts.)
1970 Clay Regazzoni CH 3rd (33 pts.)
1970 Ignazio Giunti I 17th (3 pts.) Giunti was signed by Ferrari primarily for their sports-car team and won the Sebring 12hrs and the Targa Florio. His success earned him a F1 chance and he did splendidly to finish 4th on his debut in the Belgian GP at Spa and raced three more times that year but Clay Regazzoni took his seat. Giunti was re-signed by Ferrari in 1971 but tragedy struck in his first drive whilst racing in the 1000 km Buenos Aires race, when his Ferrari 312PB prototype ploughed into the back of the Matra 660 of Jean-Pierre Beltoise, who was pushing the car along the track after it had run out of fuel. Giunti died on impact.

1976 Niki Lauda A 2nd (68 pts.)
1976 Clay Regazzoni CH 5th (31 pts.) (Team Tissot Ensign-Cosworth) A turning point in his life was the second lap at the German GP at the long Nürburgring circuit. Lauda's car swerved off the track, due to a suspected rear suspension failure, hit an embankment and rolled back into the path of Brett Lunger's Surtees-Ford car. Lauda's car burst into flames, but, unlike Lunger, he was trapped in the wreckage. Drivers Arturo Merzario, Guy Edwards and Harald Ertl arrived at the scene a few moments later, but before they and Lunger were able to pull Lauda from his car, he suffered severe burns to his head and inhaled hot toxic gases that damaged his lungs and blood. Although Lauda was conscious and able to stand immediately after the accident, he late lapsed into a coma and a priest administered the last rites. Lauda suffered extensive scarring from the burns, which became possibly his most famous attribute in the eyes of the public. He only had enough reconstructive surgery to get his eyelids to work properly, but never felt a need to do any more. Since the accident he is almost never seen in public without a red cap to cover the scars on his head. He returned to Ferrari six weeks later.
Ferrari (95 pts. 1st)
1977 Niki Lauda A WORLD CHAMPION (72 pts.) Lauda signed with Brabham-Alfa Romeo before the end of the ‘77 season. Enzo asked Lauda’s mechanic, Ermarino Cuoghi, if he intended to leave with Lauda. The mechanic admitted he thought about it and was instantly fired. Hearing about this, Lauda refused to race the last two races of the season for Ferrari.
1977 Carlos Reutemann ARG 4th (42 pts.)
1977 Gilles Villeneuve CAN NIL He raced in the Japanese Grand Prix, but retired on lap five when he banged wheels with Ronnie Peterson’s car causing Villeneuve's Ferrari to became airborne. It landed on a group of spectators watching the race from a prohibited area, killing one spectator and a race marshal and injuring ten people. After an investigation into the incident no blame was apportioned and, although he was "terribly sad" at the deaths, Villeneuve did not feel responsible for them.

1980 Jody Scheckter RSA 19th (2 pts.) (Retired from F.1. He founded FATS Inc, a company which built firearms training simulators for military, law enforcement and security organizations. The sale of the company provided funds to allow Scheckter to help the racing careers of his sons Tomas and Toby. Tomas races in the Indy Racing League and held pole position for the 2003 Indianapolis 500. He is now an organic farmer in England.

1981 Didier Pironi F 13th (9 pts.)
Ferrari (74 pts. 1st)
1982 Didier Pironi F 2nd (39 pts.) Pironi was ahead in the Championship points entering Hockenheim, Germany. But in wet practice, he struck the back of Prost’s Renault and was launched into a career-ending accident that crushed both of his legs. At hospital, doctors considered amputating his legs, but Pironi said no and eventually recovered only to die in 1987 in a powerboat race off Cowes. He would have been the
first Frenchman to be World Champion.
1982 Gilles Villeneuve CAN 15th (6 pts.) When Pironi overtook Gilles against team orders to win the San Marino G.P. in Ferrari’s heartland, Villeneuve was incensed and never spoke to Pironi again. Two weeks later, trying to out-qualify Pironi, Villeneuve crashed into the back of Jochen Mass’s slower car, catapulting Villeneuve from his car into the catch-fencing. He broke his neck and died later that evening.
1982 Patrick Tambay F 7th (25 pts.) Although he announced his retirement from F.1 when racing for LIgier, he was recalled by Ferrari to replace Villeneuve. He won his first G.P. at Hockenheim.

Marlboro Ferrari (103 pts. 2nd)
1997 Michael Schumacher D 2nd (78 pts.) Schumacher won 5 races but his title hopes were dashed when he crashed into Jacques Villeneuve in the final race, leading many to speculate an intentional collision similar to his episode in 1994 with Champion leader, Damon Hill.

1999 Michael Schumacher D 5th (42 pts.) Schumacher breaks his leg at Silverstone. He doesn’t return until the second last race.
1999 Mika Salo FIN A great opportunity arose when Michael Schumacher broke his leg at a crash during the 1999 British Grand Prix. Salo was selected as his substitute to partner Eddie Irvine at Ferrari. In his second race in Ferrari at the 1999 German Grand Prix Salo led for part of the race and would have scored a Grand Prix win but team orders demanded that he give the lead to Irvine, who at the time was fighting for the championship with Mika Häkkinen. Following the race, Irvine handed his victory trophy over to Salo as a gesture to show his gratitude.

FONDMETAL

TEAM: FONDMETAL
NATIONALITY: I
INCEPTION: 1991-1992
COMMENT: The team was spawned by Gabriele Rumi's Fondmetal alloy wheels company. Rumi, a motor racing enthusiast, was a regular sponsor of Italian teams in various classes. In the 1980s, Fondmetal supplied some Formula One teams with wheels, and by 1985, the Fondmetal name appeared for the first time on an Osella Formula One machine. In the next few years, Fondmetal remained a reliable sponsor for Osella; in fact many times it was the only major one. In 1989, Fondmetal turned out to be Osella's main sponsor. As the years went by, Enzo Osella was forced to sell some interests in his team to Fondmetal. In 1990, Fondmetal owned the majority of the team, and at the end of the year, Gabriele Rumi finally took over the whole operation.

Rumi transferred the team from Volpiano near Torino to his headquarter in Bergamo and ran it for one and a half years on his own. He initially persevered with Osella's driver, Olivier Grouillard, until he tired of the Frenchman's reckless side and attitude problem, replacing him with Gabriele Tarquini. The new team was no more successful than in the Osella days, sometimes the results being even worse than those of its fellow back row contenders Coloni or AGS.

FORTI-CORSE RACING

TEAM: FORTI-CORSE RACING
NATIONALITY: I
INCEPTION: 1995-1996
COMMENT: Forti Corse, commonly known as Forti, was an Italian motor racing team chiefly known for its brief, and unsuccessful, involvement in Formula One in the mid-1990s. The team’s notoriety was for its success in Formula 3. In the course of events, Guido Forti formed a sponsorship deal with the wealthy Brazilian businessman Abílio dos Santos Diniz family that gave his racing driver son, Pedro, a permanent seat in the team and the outfit a suitably high budget with which to enter Formula One. Forti graduated to F1 as a constructor and entrant in 1995, but its first car - the Forti FG01 - proved to be uncompetitive, and the team failed to score a point. Despite this setback, Forti was committed to a three-year deal with Diniz, which was broken when Pedro moved to the Ligier team prior to the 1996 season, taking most of the team's sponsorship money with him. Nevertheless, Forti continued to compete in the sport, and even produced a much-improved FG03 chassis, before succumbing to financial problems mid-season after an ultimately fruitless deal with a mysterious entity known as Shannon Racing. The team competed in a total of 27 Grands Prix, scoring no points, and is recognised as one of the last truly privateer teams to race in an era when many large car manufacturers were increasing their involvement in the sport.
