Timeline

In 1967, a challenging year for Ferrari in Formula One, the team underwent significant changes and faced tragic events.

The season was marred by misfortune: at the Monaco Grand Prix, Bandini suffered a fatal accident, and shortly after, Mike Parkes, re-hired by Ferrari, sustained career-ending injuries at the Belgian Grand Prix. Ferrari did not secure any race wins and finished only 5th in the Constructors' Championship.
