The Ferrari 375 F1, introduced in 1950, was Ferrari's answer to the 4.5-litre formula in Formula One. Making its debut at Monza on September 3, 1950, the car was equipped with a 4.5-litre engine (4493.73 cc) producing power comparable to its 4.1-litre predecessor but with better tractability, as evidenced by Ascari's second-place finish in its first race. Through modifications in the 1951 season, Ferrari enhanced the 375 F1's performance, leading to José Froilán González's landmark victory at Silverstone on July 14, marking Ferrari's first World Championship win. Ascari's subsequent wins at the Nürburgring and Monza, along with consistent strong performances, solidified Ferrari's status as a formidable competitor in Formula One.
