At the rear there was a De Dion tube with twin radius arms and coil springs, aided by telescopic shock absorbers.

The 326 MI qualified at fourteenth place for the starting grid with a qualification average speed of 259.1 km/h (161 mph).

Phil Hill then served as a support for the other Ferrari team with the 412 MI, and in the two remaining heats relieved both drivers.
