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.
