About Cooper-Castellotti
Cooper-Castellotti denotes the British chassis-and-engine combination that paired Cooper cars with Castellotti power in Formula 1, appearing in the World Championship in 1960. In the sport's earlier decades it was common for results to be recorded by the specific chassis-engine pairing, and this combination represents one such entry across 1 season.
The team never won a race or finished on the podium, but it did score championship points during its time on the grid, a respectable return for a small operation competing against far better-resourced rivals.
Drivers to appear for the team included Giulio Cabianca, Pete Lovely and Gino Munaron.
