Scion of the grand Italian marque’s founder is still driven by his father Enzo’s passion as Scuderia runs 1,000th race at Tuscan GP
The roar of an engine, a vivid flash of scarlet, triumph and defeat, tears of joy and of despair – for the founder of Ferrari this was all that mattered. “Racing was his life, he lived for racing,” recalls Piero Ferrari of his father, Enzo, l’Ingegnere, the Engineer, as he is still called with reverence.
Enzo’s Scuderia has been competing in Formula One since its inception in 1950 and on Sunday at Mugello they reach a remarkable milestone with their 1,000th F1 race, in the Tuscan Grand Prix. Enzo’s passion created the most famous marque in racing, a behemoth, globally recognised and supported, yet one in which his personal involvement still remains ingrained.
