In 1951, just one year after the official Formula 1 Championship series was begun, Ferrari won its very first Formula 1 victory at Silverstone with the car you see here in model form: the 375 F-1 piloted to victory by 29 year old Argentinean Froilan Gonzalez.
Many long-time 1:43 collectors will know that this car has been modeled by many specialist hand built makers over the years. For those not having the budget or desire to spring for a more accurate, more expensive hand built, the crew at Mattel have come to your rescue.
