The Ferrari 150° Italia ("150°" pronounced as centocinquantesimo) was a Formula One car designed by Ferrari for the 2011 Formula One season. It was driven by Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa.
The car was originally going to be named Ferrari F150, but Ford owned the trademark and wanted to sue Ferrari for the use of the "F150" name. On March 3, Ferrari renamed their car to the Ferrari 150° Italia, with Ford eventually withdrawing their legal challenge.
Ferrari's 2011 season was not better than the previous season, notably lacking pace in qualifying, often being behind McLaren and Red Bull. Without achieving any pole position throughout the season, Ferrari set three fastest laps at Australia, Britain and Hungary. Felipe Massa failed to finish on the podium for the first time since 2005, meanwhile Fernando Alonso secured all ten podiums and a single victory at the British Grand Prix.
Ferrari finished third in the Constructors' Championship, far behind McLaren in second and Red Bull in first.
