Scuderia Ferrari

Formula One team

The Prancing Horse of Maranello

The only team to race in every World Championship season, Ferrari holds the records for both constructors' and drivers' titles.

Scuderia Ferrari began in 1929, when Enzo Ferrari set up a team in Modena to enter amateur drivers, most of them in Alfa Romeo cars. Through much of the 1930s it served as Alfa Romeo's racing arm, and only after the war did Ferrari build and race cars under his own name. In 1943 the operation moved to Maranello, which is still home to both the race team and the road car factory, along with the Fiorano test track built in 1972.

Ferrari missed the very first championship race in 1950 but arrived at Monaco eight days later, and it has entered every season since, 77 in all through 2026. The first win came at the 1951 British Grand Prix with José Froilán González. Alberto Ascari then won 13 races for the team and the drivers' titles of 1952 and 1953, and the champions who followed in red include Juan Manuel Fangio, Mike Hawthorn, Phil Hill, John Surtees, Niki Lauda and Jody Scheckter. Lauda's 15 victories carried the team through a run of three straight constructors' titles from 1975 to 1977.

The richest period came with Michael Schumacher, who joined in 1996 and won 72 Grands Prix for the team. Ferrari took six consecutive constructors' championships from 1999 to 2004, Schumacher won the drivers' title in each of the last five of those years, and Kimi Räikkönen added another in 2007 before the team's most recent constructors' crown in 2008. The totals stand at 16 constructors' titles and 15 drivers' titles, both records.

Ferrari also builds its own engines and has supplied them to many other teams, among them Sauber and Toro Rosso, and in 2026 Haas and Cadillac. Through the rounds held so far in 2026 the team has started 1,137 World Championship races and won 250 of them, the latest being the 2026 British Grand Prix with Charles Leclerc, who shares the current lineup with Lewis Hamilton.
