Mauro Forghieri passed away at the age of 87.

The Legendary engineer and technical director of Scuderia Ferrari F1 designer Mauro Forghieri, an iconic figure in Formula 1 as he helped Ferrari win numerous titles, has passed away at the age of 87.

The Scuderia won 4 driver titles and 7 constructor championships under his technical leadership from the 1960s until 1984.

Mauro Forghieri was appointed to the role of technical chief at Ferrari in 1961 when he was just 27 years old.

He remained in that role until 1984 and oversaw the construction of a number of successful F1 cars that delivered Ferrari numerous titles.

During his tenure he was instrumental in creating some of the squad’s most successful and famous F1 designs. This included the V8-powered 158 that John Surtees won the world title with in 1964, as well as the 312 series of both grand prix and sportscar fame.

Following his long career at Ferrari, Forghieri moved to Lamborghini where he worked on its V12 engine that raced in F1 in 1989 and 1990.
