Ferrari’s Racing Pedigree
21st December 2008
Ferrari, as the name indicates, is synonymous with the need for speed. That too, for the ones who love to be driving an Italian masterpiece of art, speed and power combined to form an
intricate web of grandeur and grace. The Ferrari has been a symbol of power and wealth for just over six decades.
Starting with the Ferrari 1947 125 S, all its descendents have been creating a name for themselves both on the racing track as well as the hearts of everyone that uses them. The Ferrari joined the Formula One World Championship in its very first year of existence. It also got its very own first victory on the 1951 British Grand Prix. Until 2007 team Ferrari has won themselves an astounding 15 World Drivers Championship titles since 1952. Their victories don’t stop just there; they also won 15 World Constructors Championship titles since 1961. 201 Grand Prix victories is something worth bragging about as well.
All those victories were made possible starting with the Ferrari 166M driven by Luigi Chinetti back in 1949 where the Ferrari made history in motorsports. The Ferrari’s victories on every race tracks all over the world were thanks to the pedigree cars manufactured initially by Enzo Ferrari himself. Later on, the legacy of the Ferrari was carried on by the Fiat group which bought Ferrari S.p.A from Enzo Ferrari in 1969 because he was struggling financially. Even after Enzo Ferrari’s death in 1988 when he was 90 years old, the “Prancing Horse” has been creating strides through the portal of time with its pedigree racing Ferraris.
