On October 5th 1969 the penultimate round of the 1969 season was staged at Watkins Glen. With the drivers' championship already in Jackie Stewart's hands many drivers decided to compete in other championships. Ferrari entered only Pedro Rodriguez, who brought to the race, under the North American Racing Team banner, the 312 F1 still equipped with the V12 engine characterized by intake on the outside of the V and exhausts in the center. This single-seater, which was disappointing in qualifying (12th in the U.S.) and which only a never tame Rodríguez, a driver endowed with immense talent, managed to bring to the points (5th) at Watkins Glen, although he managed to complete only 101 laps out of 108 scheduled. The retirement at Mosport Park (oil pressure problems) and the 7th place accrued in Mexico archived a severely insufficient season for the Scuderia Ferrari.
