If you remember from last week's episode we had Hot Wheels McDonalds giveaway cars. This week we have another McDonald's car. This is a Hot Wheels Cory Mcclenathan, AKA Cory Mac, dragster.
The other car this week is the Ferrari 156 F1, the world championship Ferrari, driven by Phil Hill. Phil Hill was the first American champion behind the wheel of a Ferrari 156. But it did not come without tragedy....his teammate and rival Wolfgang von Trips was killed at the Italian Grand Prix,
1961 F1 World Championship
The 1961 Formula One season was the 15th season of Formula One motor racing. It featured the 1961 World Championship of Drivers and the 1961 International Cup for F1 Manufacturers, which were contested concurrently from 14 May to 8 October over an eight race series. The season also included numerous non-championship races for Formula One cars.
Phil Hill of Ferrari won his only Drivers' Championship after his teammate and rival Wolfgang von Trips was killed at the Italian Grand Prix, the penultimate race of the season. Ferrari won its first F1 manufacturers' title.
