Wolfgang von Trips was the only child of a noble German family. His relatives obstructed his passion for racing cars, to the extent that he started racing under a false name, Axel Linther, as his nickname, \u201cTaffy\u201d, was too well-known. He achieved relevant results straight away, in countless races and across different categories, driving for Porsche and Mercedes. In 1956, driving a Porsche, he won in the sport category: at Sebring, Le Mans and Avus. Then, he moved on to Ferrari, which he continued racing within F1 too.<\/p>\n

On 22nd May 1961, at the Zandvoort racetrack, he won with a Ferrari, in front of his teammate, Phill Hill<\/a>.
