Ferrari's World Champions: The Cars that Beat the World

In it's more than 60 years of history, Ferrari has won a long series of World Championships in both the World Sports Car Championship and Formula 1. The first were the single seater Grand Prix titles won in the early 1950s by drivers like Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio and Mike Hawthorn. But the Prancing Horse also won the world crown new fewer than 5 times in sports car racing, of which it was the unquestioned protagonist. A domination that became even more complete in endurance racing in the first half of the 60's.

Maranello ended its sports car racing campaign in the early 70s and returned to being a top team in Formula 1, in which it won additional Drivers' and Constructors' World Titles.

After a number of withering defeats, the Schumacher era began at the end of the 90s and the German took Ferrari to first place in both the number of victories scored and the World Championship stakes, the value of its Marque rocketing sky high - a phenomenon that has continued even after the seven times World Champion's retirement.

This book's incisive text and wealth of pictures, many of them previously unpublished, tells this unrepeatable story, which seems to know no end.
