Description

By: Nick Garton, 2nd hand book in very good condition. 

After 20 years of domination by the technical brilliance of British-based teams like Williams, McLaren and Benetton, the greatest name in international motor sport, Scuderia Ferrari, returned to form on the cusp of the 21st century.

In the five seasons from 1999 to 2003 Ferrari has achieved crushing superiority on the track, and has written a new chapter in the history books by claiming 48 grand prix wins, five Manufacturers' World Championships and four Drivers' titles for its star, Michael Schumacher.

Unlike its nearest rivals, however, Ferrari is the last of the true grandee teams. Its soul was forged in the 1930s when Enzo Ferrari's team prepared scarlet Alfa Romeos in the sport's 'golden age'. As a constructor, Ferrari then built an empire on the charisma of the Cavallino Rampante, the prancing horse emblem carried on his elegant and powerful racing cars. In 1993 Jean Todt arrived and found that Enzo Ferrari's legacy was suffering from years of neglect and mismanagement; rife with internal conflicts, out of touch with the demands of modern Formula 1 and lacking in leadership. His task was to rebuild Scuderia Ferrari for a new era — a task that he and those around him have single- mindedly achieved.

Here is the story of Todt's 10-year reign to date, and the phenomenal successes of the team he has brought together. Jean Todt, and many of those around him who have given their all to create this era of Ferrari mastery, exclusively give their thoughts on life at Ferrari through the good times and the bad times, and their insights into a team that remains, quite simply, the best of the best.

Nick Garton has spent his life around motor sport, working in many areas including Formula Ford, British Touring Cars and the World Rally Championship. He has covered Formula 1 for several publications worldwide including Fl News and Motorsport News (Australia), as well as www.grandprix.com, the leading Formula 1 website.
