-FERRARI

Ferrari is an Italian sports car manufacturer based in Maranello.

Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1939 as Auto Avio Costruzioni, the company built
its first car

in 1940 but the beginning of the company as auto

manufacturer was recognized in 1947 when the first Ferrari car was
completed.
Ferrari is the world's most powerful brand according to Brand Finance.
In May 2012 the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO became the most expensive car in
history, being sold in a private transaction for US$38.1 millions to American
communications magnate Craig McCaw.
Throughout its history, the company has been noted for its continued
participation in racing, especially in Formula One, where it has the most
successful racing team, holding the most constructors championships (16)
and having produced the highest number of winning drivers (15). Ferrari road
cars are generally seen as a symbol of speed, luxury and wealth.
Scuderia Ferrari
Scuderia Ferrari has participated in several classes of motorsport,
although currently it is only officially involved in Formula One. It is the only
team to have competed in the Formula One World Championship
continuously since its conception in 1950. Jos Froiln Gonzlez gave the
team its first F1 victory at the1951 British Grand Prix.
Alberto Ascari gave Ferrari its first Drivers Championship a year later.
Ferrari is the oldest team in the championship, and the most successful: the
team holds nearly every Formula One record. The team records include 15
World Drivers Championship titles 16 World Constructors Championship
titles, 221 Grand Prix victories, 6736.27 points, 679 podium finishes, 207 pole
positions, and 230 fastest laps in 890 Grands Prix contested.

Michael Schumacher
Born on January 3th 1969 he is a German. He is a seven-time Formula
One World Champion and is widely regarded as one of the greatest Formula
One drivers of all time. He was named Laureus World Sportsman of the
Year twice.
He

won

two

titles

with Benetton in1994 and 1995 before

moving

to Ferrari where he drove for eleven years. His time with Ferrari yielded five
consecutive titles between 2000and 2004.
Schumacher holds many of Formula One's driver records, including
most championships, race victories, fastest laps, pole positions and most
races won in a single season 13 in 2004 (the last of these records was
equalled by fellow German Sebastian Vettel nine years later). In 2002, he
became the only driver in Formula One history to finish in the top three in
every race of a season and then also broke the record for most consecutive
podium finishes. According to the official Formula One website, he is
"statistically the greatest driver the sport has ever seen".
Ferrari 250 GTO
Ferrari 250 GTO is a car which was produced by Ferrari from 1962 to
1964. In May 2012 the 250 GTO made for Stirling Moss became the world's
most expensive car in history, selling in a private transaction for $38 to US
communications magnate Craig McCaw. In October 2013, Connecticut-based
collector Paul Pappalardo sold chassis number 5111GT to an unnamed buyer
for a new record, somewhere within the $38 million range. The numerical part
of its name denotes the displacement in cubic centimeters of each cylinder of
the engine, whilst GTO stands for "Gran Turismo Omologato",Italian for
"Grand Touring Homologated." When new, the GTO cost $18,000 in the

United States, and buyers had to be personally approved by Enzo Ferrariand

his dealer for North America, Luigi Chinetti.

For me Ferrari is the best car brand in the world. These cars have been
in the market for many years. Ferrari competes with very good brands as:
Mercedes, Lamborghini; Ford, etc. Ferrari also has the most winning teams in
the Formula one and the best drivers in history. All of this is due to the
implementation of the technology of racing cars in the street cars. Its cars are
very expensive and sought after and its fame grows by the day
