D Correct answer
Explanation

Ferrari's last victory for a front-engined car in Formula 1 was at Monza in 1960, won by Phil Hill. By 1961, new rules requiring 1.5-liter engines made rear-engined cars superior, and the old front-engined machines became obsolete. This victory at Italy's classic circuit marked the end of an era in Formula 1 design. The transition to rear-engine layouts, pioneered by British teams like Cooper and Lotus, permanently changed Grand Prix racing.
