The career of the 512 F1 was quite short because the new regulation that went into effect from 1966 (3000cc engines) blocked its use at the end of 1965. Also from the point of view of the results, the 512 F1 did not leave a particular mark in the history of Ferrari, bar a second place at the 1965 Monaco GP.
