CMC Ferrari D50, 1956, GP Italy (Monza) #26

Initiated by Gianni Lancia the D50 project proved to be a worthy pursuit in the hands of Enzo Ferrari. 

Scuderia Ferrari had a highly successful F1 racing season in 1956. The 1956 Italian Grand Prix was the eighth and final race of the 1956 World 

Championship. Coming into the race, Juan Manuel Fangio had an eight-point lead over Ferrari teammate Peter Collins.

Fangio retired with a broken steering arm but British driver Peter Collins, despite having the opportunity for his first world championship, sportingly handed his car over to Fangio during a routine pit-stop.

Fangio finished second, behind Stirling Moss, giving himself and Collins a share of the points for second place and ensuring his fourth title.
