The 1961 tournament would stay in the memory of all not only for its winner Phil Hill, if not also for the misfortune of von Trips at Monza.
The 60's had begun with the Anglo-Saxon dominance, but Ferrari wanted react as early as 1961. They got it: The Model 156 with a nose that had him nicknamed "the shark" and a new 6-cylinder engine in V which was adapted to the new regulation 1.5-liter, came as a surprise to all the British teams had to leave with their old four-cylinder engines while waiting for the Coventry-Climax biker conclude the development of a new more powerful V8.
Pilots official Ferrari team, Von Trips, Phil Hill and Richie Ginther normally dominated world, especially the first two pilots who were successes in the Netherlands, Belgium, Britain and Italy. Moss won his last two victories in Monaco and Nurburgring but the title race was relegated to the two main drivers of the Italian team after Giancarlo Baghetti Reims made history in winning the French Grand Prix driving a private Ferrari its first participation in the F-1.
At Monza, the Italians did everything they could celebrate the victory announced by Ferrari. After marking the "scuderia" the four best times in training, the organizers, with arbitrary sovereign became a regular grid of rows of three and two cars alternately, in a two by two as at present, all to ward off their rivals from other teams over backwards from the front lines output. In the path with banked ramps which happened to be the fastest in the world, the cars circulate very close to each other, taking advantage of the slipstream with the consequent danger.
At the start, Phil Hill was done with the remote while Von Trips, who had pole position, lost a few places lagging behind in the middle of the pack. Before completing the first round and get to the braking of the curve "dish", the Ferrari of German nobleman played with Jim Clark's Lotus to be thrown into the stands side, finding the death, he as well as 14 spectators.
incredible as it may seem today day, the race continued its course to the end and just when American Phil Hill and crossed the finish on the podium as a winner and a new world champion, he realized that something serious had happened. Von Trips could have been the first German world champion but it was his failure to pay with life, just as they would other long before the first success Teutonic Michael Schumacher in 1994.
