With this week seeing the 90th anniversary of Scideria Ferrari, I'm going to rank the ten best Ferrari F1 cars.


10. F2008

Felipe Massa nearly won the 2008 championship in this car, only losing it to the infamous 'Is That Glock' moment. It did win a teams championship, however. Ferrari's not won a trophy since this car.


9. 158

The 158 was Ferrari's 1964 charger and allowed John Surtees to become a champion ontwo wheels and four, which alone gives it a place on this list.


8. 641

The 641 was driven by champions Alain Prost and Nigel Mansell, and won six races over the year. Like the F2008, it was denied in bad circumstances for the driver's title; this time, it was Ayrton Senna hitting Prost at Japan.


7. 126C

This car won two consecutive manufacturers titles in 1982 and 1983. It was driven by several brilliant drivers: Villeneuve, Pironi, Arnoux. However, this car does have to have a footnote, that Villeneuve was killed and Pironi crippled while driving this car for several unconnected and unfortunate reasons.


6. 156

In 1961, Ferrari dominated the championship with Wolfgang von Trips and Phil Hill and won the manufacturer's championship. However, Von Trips was killed in a horrific accident at Monza giving Hill the championship.


5. 246

The Ferrari Dino 246 was the future and the past in 1960. It was the very first car who won a race with a V6, but the last with a front-engine layout. It won the 1958 championship with Mike Hawthorn.


4. F2004

Michael Schumacher won the first 12 of 13 races in this car, and still has many lap records in this car. It's not as high as others though due to the brilliance of the top 3.


3. 500

The car that I viewed earlier in the week in Under the Hood is on my podium for the top Ferrari F1s. It won back-to-back championships with Alberto Ascari. To find more about this car, please go to https://djspeaks08.wixsite.com/mysite/post/under-the-hood-ferrari-500.


2. F2002

Not only did this brilliant car win all races but one in 2002, it won races in 2003 as well. Michael Schumacher obviously dominated during this period, but Rubens did definitely play his part, such as the infamous team orders race at Austria.


1. 312T

The 312T is a legendary car. In 1975-1977, it won championships. In 1978, it got bested by the incredible Lotus 78. In 1979, it bounced back. Lauda, Regazzoni, Villeneuve, Reutemann and Schecter all drove the car and Lauda and Scheckter both won championships.
