Ferrari cars have always been light years ahead of competitors. Here’s the solution that left everyone speechless in 2008.
Once upon a time there was a Ferrari that was also victorious in Formula 1 and was not present in the sales rankings and in other motorsport categories. The last world title won in 2008 in Formula 1 was celebrated in grand style. After the glorious year 2007 Rosa came close to scoring a brace And this time the protagonist was not Kimi Raikkonen, but the good Felipe Massa.
For the Scuderia, winning two titles in a row with different drivers is an exceptional goal. Recently, Mercedes has only been successful with Hamilton and Rosberg. In 2008, the Brazilian came close to world championship recognitionBut he was overtaken in the last moments by Lewis Hamilton.
The latter celebrated the first of his seven world championships at the wheel of a McLaren. Massa also launched a lawsuit to recognize this title after his battles with Hamilton. The Anglo-Caribbean will be the new driver for Scuderia next season. Historical courses and events awaiting the World Cup, which has been absent for 16 years.

When the 430 Scuderia Spider 16M was released, Apple was selling a 32GB version of the iPod Touch. Ferrari clearly wanted the 16GB model to celebrate the number of victories in Formula 1.
Today this number is identified with that of Charles Leclerc. The latter, who grew up in the Ferrari academy, has become a fan favourite.
