For the 1954 Formula One season, Ferrari adapted the 500 chassis to fit the new 2.5-litre 625 engine, complying with the updated regulations. This setup secured two race victories in 1954 and 1955, though it faced stiff competition from the Mercedes-Benz W196 and Maserati 250F. The 625 remained in use until 1956, when Ferrari introduced the D50 chassis from the acquired Lancia Formula One team. The 625 F1 featured a Lampredi inline-four engine producing 210–230 PS at 7000 rpm, with an independent front suspension and de Dion rear axle. Its notable achievement includes Maurice Trintignant's win at the 1955 Monte Carlo Grand Prix.
