About the Ferrari 375 F1
The 375 F1 was the final step in Aurelio Lampredi's plan to build a large naturally aspirated V12 for the 4.5-litre formula, following the 3.3-litre 275 F1 and 4.1-litre 340 F1 during 1950. Two cars debuted at Monza in September 1950, where Alberto Ascari finished second, the bigger engine giving roughly the same power as the 4.1 but more tractability. Modifications through 1951 let Ferrari beat Alfa Romeo, and José Froilán González won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on 14 July for the constructor's first World Championship victory. Ascari added wins at the Nürburgring and Monza. When the regulations changed for 1952, the big V12 moved on to the 375 Indianapolis.
