DO YOU KNOW THE HISTORY OF ENZO FERRARI AND THE MOST LEGENDARY TEAM IN FORMULA 1?
When Enzo Ferrari set out to create his own motorsport team, he did not give up until he succeeded and took it to absolute success. In this way, Scuderia Ferrari managed to participate in the first edition of the Formula 1 World Championship in 1950, to become the only one to appear in all the editions of its history.
In the early years, it would not take long to achieve glory through Alberto Ascari and fighting with and against Fangio. In the early years of the championship, Ferrari always managed to be at the top of Formula 1 through drivers such as Mike Hawthorn, Phil Hill and John Surtees, becoming a team that was always a candidate for victory.
Between 1964 and 1974, the rise of British brands complicated Ferrari's trajectory in a complicated period, but Niki Lauda would end up becoming the savior who would lead the Scuderia back to winning championships.
After a new dark period where the championships resisted despite having drivers with the talent of Nigel Mansell or Alain Prost, a hero came to the rescue of the Italian team to provide it with the best years of its history: Michael Schumacher. After the departure of the legendary German, only Kimi Räikkönen managed to extend the triumph of Scuderia Ferrari, despite having champions like Alonso or Vettel.
