In the Formula 1 Ernesto Brambilla twice tried. In 1963 in Monza he could not qualify with his Cooper - Maserati . In the 1969 season he again competed in Monza with a Ferrari. But just before the race he had a motorcycle accident and his injuries left him severely handicapped. Brambilla was able to qualify because only 16 drivers started training.
