Ferrari’s Technological Innovations Part 4: 1960 - From Overhung Clutch to Small 1000cc Four-Cylinder

Innovative yet traditional, Enzo Ferrari realized that in just ten years, he had achieved global fame and reputation. He understood that growing too fast would be a risk. Although he was reluctant to delegate power to others, he created an internal structure with proven leaders. At the top of the Technical Department, he chose Carlo Chiti, a Tuscan engineer from Alfa Romeo. It's 1957, and many things are changing in racing, but Ferrari struggles to accept them. For example, disc brakes, which only he and Mercedes still avoid using, and the rear-engine concept, which Ferrari refuses to adopt, along with opportunities to reimagine the role of aerodynamics.
