Encyclopedia
The 1966 Italian Grand Prix was a Formula One
motor race held at Monza
on September 4, 1966. It was the seventh round of the 1966 World Championship
. The race was the 36th Italian Grand Prix
and the 32nd to be held at Monza. The race was held over 68 laps of the five kilometre circuit for a race distance of 391 kilometres.
The race was won by Italian driver Ludovico Scarfiotti
driving a Ferrari 312
in his only Grand Prix victory. Scarfiotti led home his British team mate Mike Parkes
by five seconds. Parkes only just defeated New Zealand racer Denny Hulme
in his Brabham BT20, the pair separated by less than half a second.
While series points leader Jack Brabham
stopped with an oil leak in his Brabham BT19
on lap seven, he secured his third world championship, and the unique achievement of becoming world champion in a car of his own make, when his only remaining points rival John Surtees
stopped with a fuel leak in his Cooper T81
24 laps later.
was odds-on favourite for the Championship – only John Surtees
could stop him and only then by winning all three remaining races. He was prevented from doing so by an impressive performance from his former employers Ferrari
at their home track. Honda had brought a new 370 bhp 3 litre V12 engine for Richie Ginther
, whilst Dan Gurney
had his Weslake
engine and Graham Hill
had the BRM H16. Lorenzo Bandini
and Mike Parkes
led from the start, whilst Hill's engine gave up on the first lap, followed in retirement by Jackie Stewart
on lap 5 with a fuel leak, and then Brabham on lap 8 with an engine failure which coated the car in oil. Jim Clark
in the H16 Lotus
was moving strongly through the field. On lap 17, Richie Ginther
had a horrific accident, crashing heavily into the trees and being very fortunate to escape with his life. Once Clark had pitted, Ludovico Scarfiotti
, Parkes, Surtees and Hill disputed the lead until Surtees withdrew with a split petrol tank which was pouring it all over his tyres and ending his championship chances. Denny Hulme
had fought through the field to third place. But the race was Scarfiotti's, as he became the first Italian to win for Ferrari at Monza
since Alberto Ascari
in 1952. Parkes completed Ferrari's joy as he pipped Hulme by 0.3 seconds to claim second spot. Amidst all the celebrations, Jack Brabham was crowned champion.
