Ferrari is synonymous with Formula 1 around the world. They’ve won more World Championships than any other team in the sport’s history.
But is that success why they’re regarded as one of the most iconic names in F1? Or is there more to it?
F1 Explains is at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza to find out what makes Ferrari so special.
Christian Hewgill is joined by ESPN F1 journalist, Nate Saunders, who is also the author of ‘Forza Ferrari: How F1’s most famous team can win again’, and 2012 GP2 champion and F1TV pundit, Davide Valsecchi.
They discuss how Ferrari’s long history with Formula 1 began, the legacy of legendary founder Enzo Ferrari, the team’s famous Tifosi fanbase, the pressure they face from the Italian media and why winning a title with Ferrari is extra special.
Christian also meets some very passionate Italian Ferrari fans, who tell us why Ferrari mean so much to them, what it was like being at Monza when Charles Leclerc won in 2024, and how they would feel if Ferrari became World Champions again after such a long wait.
