The Story

Scuderia Ferrari was founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929, initially running cars for Alfa Romeo, and has entered every Formula 1 world championship season since 1950.

Its early titles came with Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio and John Surtees, followed by the Niki Lauda years of the mid-1970s and the Jody Scheckter title of 1979.

The team's most dominant period came in the early 2000s, when Michael Schumacher won five consecutive drivers' championships. Kimi Räikkönen took the team's most recent drivers' title in 2007.
