Racing Career
After his family’s carpentry company shut down, Ferrari started searching for a job in the car industry, following his passion for racing. He formed a team called Scuderia Ferrari (founded by Enzo in 1929) and acted as a racing team for Alfa Romeo. The team was very successful, thanks to excellent cars like the Alfa Romeo P3 and to the talented drivers. (https://www.automotivehalloffame.org/honoree/enzo-ferrari/) -
Building Ferrari
Alfa Romeo agreed to partner Ferrari’s racing team until 1933, when financial issues forced them to withdraw their support-a decision retracted thanks sponsorship of tire company,Pirelli. Despite having the best drivers in team, the team struggled to compete with Auto Union and Mercedes. In 1937, Scuderia Ferrari was dissolved and Ferrari returned to Alfa’s Racing team. Over the past years, Ferrari has won several victories. (https://www.automotivehalloffame.org/honoree/enzo-ferrari/) -
