		At the end of the year Amon left the Italian organization and announced that he was starting his own Formula 1 team and would build a car for the 1974 season.
		Amon financed much of the project himself although additional backing came from John Dalton and Gordon Fowell was commissioned to design the Amon-Ford AF101.
		Amon qualified 23rd ahead of a couple of cars but retired with brake problems at one-quarter distance.

	Formula 1 complete - F1 info, stats and news - Ferrari (Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro)
		In the 1961 Formula One season, with new rules for 1500cmÂ³, the team kept Hill, von Trips and Ginther, and debuted another Chiti-designed car, the Ferrari 156 based on the Formula 2 car of 1960, which was dominant throughout the season.
		The 1965 Formula One season was the last year of the 1.5-liter formula, so Ferrari opted to use the same V8 engine another year together with a new flat-12 which had debuted at the end of 1964; they won no races as Clark dominated in his now more reliable Lotus.
		During 1969 Formula One season Enzo Ferrari set about wisely spending his newfound wealth to revive his struggling team; though Ferrari did compete in Formula One in 1969, it was something of a throwaway season while the team was restructured.

	[No title]
		Chris Amon had a desire to be his own boss so in 1973 with his own money and that of enthusiast John Dalton he commissioned young designer Gordon Fowell to design a car for the start of the 1974 season.
		So was born the Amon AF1 car powered by a cosworth DSV engine and the first F1 car to use a central fuel cell between the cockpit and the engine.
		The Amon AF1's only race appearence would be at Spain where it ran a conventional nose cone but broke a brake shaft and failed to finish the race.

	Grand Prix Racing - the whole story
		Some teams like Williams and McLaren in the 1980s and 1990s seem incapable of producing a bad car while operations like Arrows have rarely got beyond the middle of the grid with their efforts.
		Teams such as BRM, Ligier, Tyrrell and Maserati are owed their place among the greats for always being there and often leading, while Eagle deserve a place for producing one of the most stunningly beautiful cars ever to take to the tracks.
		Whatever their success, or lack of it, the fact that this type of team is no more is sad, although in light of the increased role of commerce within the sport, not surprising.

		By 1969, Team McLaren and the Can-Am were known as the "Bruce and Denny Show" because of their domination.
		Team McLaren continued, with Denny Hulme as team leader and Dan Gurney as second driver.

		Chris Amon, a New Zealand sheep farmer's son who led the Ferrari team for two seasons in the late 1960s, is remembered in Formula 1 as the best driver never to win a Grand Prix.
		Amon is one of the most engaging and enigmatic characters of his era and his career that promised so much demands a really good biography.
		Amon would make a great movie or television documentary and many F1 fans today would doubtless be amazed at his story, from the early promise to the feats of gaining points with almost undrivable cars like the Tecno and Ensign in the later days.

		Amon was teamed with the ultra-experienced Maurice Trintignant for the first race of the season, at Monaco.
		Amon made what was to be the first of several moves to teams whose aims and ideals were stratospheric, but actually abilities were somewhat lower.
		Amon Racing engines supplied F2 motors to a few drivers in 1972, their most notable customer being sideburned Swede Reine Wisell, before the company became to expensive, and was sold on to March at a loss.

		Sixty-year-old Amon is best credentialled to judge, being the sole survivor from the days when the holy trinity of Bruce McLaren, Hulme and Amon gave the country an incredible and unprecedented profile in the fast lane from the late 1950s, throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s.
		Amon's the first to concede that today's F1 world is on another planet from his racing days, but some things don't change.
		The break and the right team are issues Amon keeps returning to, which is easy to understand because Amon's own career from 1963-1976 was littered with many poor choices as he moved through a succession of teams.

		There are the post test and race debriefings, press interviews, photographs, autographs and the demands of the teams sponsors VIP corporate guests, all of whom want their slice of the Formula 1 star's time to make their experience complete.

		The Belgian, a guest at the start of the Mille Miglia historic race, expressed his pride in the team that gave him his first win in 1968 and for whom he was championship runner-up in 1970.
		The comparison with Ferrari's Brazilian and Ickx's 1968 teammate is a beguiling one as Rubens Barrichello seeks to finish a race in Austria on Sunday for only the second time in six outings this year.
		Amon suffered similarly in his time, although anyone who survived one of the most dangerous eras in grand prix history must have had some luck on his side.

		Amon had driven for many top teams, Ferrari, Mc Laren, Matra and March, but somehow he had an uncanny capability of leaving them when things were about to turn better.
		Amon though picked up his first Championship points with a fifth place at the Dutch GP and his practice times were invariably impressive.
		In 1968 Amon was leading the Spanish GP only to retire with fuel pump problems and had a good second at the British GP, but there was little else until the Canadian GP when Amon was leading by over a minute when the transmission failed.

		For one thing, F1 teams are forever looking for the next big thing and for another, there appear to be no vacancies at the top outfits.
		Ferrari would shy away from the expectations that would come from putting an Italian of such talent in their team - and anyway Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello are contracted until the end of 2004.
		The same goes for Juan Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher at Williams - unless rumours of the team's disenchantment with the German are true.

		While F1 teams queue to throw money at the best of the new talent-BMW-Williams contracted Button for $660,000 before he'd driven the first race in his debut season last year-some senior F1 figures fear the "baby racers" may liven up the sport too much.
		Swiss F1 team Sauber signed Raikkonen for the 2001 season after noting the Finn's astonishing speed in junior racing, but the FIA-citing rules that require demonstrated expertise in lesser cars-balked at awarding a permit (called a superlicense) that would allow Raikkonen to compete.
		In 1963, when Amon was one month short of his 20th birthday, he became the youngest man ever to race in F1 (there have since been three younger, including Alonso).

		The team floundered, and despite the horsepower of the V-12, Honda, BRM, and Cosworth engines were superior.
		Amon, lucky to have so much to play with and plenty of attention, knew he had to do well, for there was no one else to uphold the team's honor.

		Well, it's worth being reminded that Chris Amon, from a little place called Scott's Ferry near a slightly larger place in the Manawatu called Bulls in little old New Zealand, was one of the youngest drivers ever to race in Formula 1.
		The title neatly encapsulates the enormous respect with which Chris Amon was held by the world's top racing drivers and team owners of his day, even if he didn't manage to win a single F1 race.
		It's as unfathomable today as it was when he was racing but Amon appears to have had an uncanny inability to be in the right place at the right time, at the time.

		Considered to be the greatest Formula 1 driver to have never won a Grand Prix, he drove for Ferrari from 1967-69 and had several potential victories slip helplessly from his grasp.
		The son of a New Zealand sheep farmer, Amon started racing at the age of 18 and a mere two years later (1963) he joined the Formula 1 World Championship circuit.
		He then joined the new March Engineering team and had some more promising drives, but could not attain the top spot and he finished out his career with several lesser teams (including his own) before quietly bowing out of racing in 1976, and moving back to New Zealand.

		The Rob Walker team was by far the most successful privateer team, having won seven races with Stirling Moss, one race with Maurice Trintignant and one race with Jo Siffert.
