Ferrari 150 Italia
Named for the 150th anniversary of Italian unification, Ferrari's 2011 car gave Fernando Alonso victory at Silverstone.
About the Ferrari 150 Italia
The 150º Italia was Ferrari's 2011 car, launched at Maranello on 28 January 2011 and driven by Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa. It lacked pace early in the season, particularly in qualifying, and technical director Aldo Costa was dismissed after the Spanish Grand Prix. Its form improved when the FIA restricted off-throttle blown diffusers at the British Grand Prix, a technology Ferrari had not built the car around, and Alonso dominated at Silverstone for the car's only win. It scored ten podiums from 19 races, but struggled to warm up its tyres all season.
