After many years of atmo twelve-cylinder engines, Ferrari switched to the turbocharged configuration, which had been introduced by Renault in the late 1970s. The 126 CK turbo F.1 was used throughout the 1981 season, in which the team continued their apprenticeship with this type of engine, after the first experiences late in 1980. Although the car was clearly inferior to the competition from Williams, Brabham, Renault and Ligier Gilles Villeneuve managed to achieve two historic victories, in Monte Carlo and Spain, finishing seventh in the drivers' championship, won by Piquet. Ferrari finished fifth in the manufacturers' standings.

Brumm was founded by Reno Tattarletti, former Rio sales director, with Emilio Molteni and Virginio Bianchi in Como, in 1972. The company name comes from a model of carriage (from "Brougham") widely used in Milan in Nineteenth century. Brumm originally made 1:43 scale models of horse-drawn carriages. In the mid-1970s, steam-powered vehicle models went into production, and in 1977, classic car models. Car models, mostly sports and racing cars, along with some small Fiats, soon became the company's most important and successful product line. Since the mid-1980s Brumm has regularly produced limited edition models in special and promotional liveries. Proudly continuing to produce in Italy, Brumm is today very active, with a very rich catalog that offers updated variants of already known moulds. Completely new molds are nowadays rare, such as the Fiat Panda II Series, which was long overdue.
