[edit] Ferrari IndyCar Project
I unfortunately don't have the full details, such as exact year, but in the mid-late 80s Ferrari had started an IndyCar project in order to force the FIA to implement a rule change they wanted. I know a Ferrari IndyCar, complete with engine, was designed, built AND tested(by Bobby Rahal, no less), but the FIA gave in to Ferrari's demands so it was enver raced. I think if anyone has more information on this, it should be added to the atricle. Either in the 1980s section, or in its own small section of this page. Since the project was ultimately only started to effect a change in F1, I definitely feel in belongs in this article. But again, I don't have enough information to add it myself.
[edit] The record for longest gap between wins
The page says that Ferrari hold this record at 53 years, what is meant by this statistic, because it is on a Formula One related page, and their longest gap between wins is certainly nowhere near that figure.
I cited in a forum the records given in this article before being corrected with the same objection given above. If you read the story on wins there is no way this is true. I posted something on BillCook page, the person that included that record and I am deleting it right now. Can someone come with an explanation? I find credible that Ferrari holds the record for longest gap between wins, but being founded in 1929, this means that they did not win a GP until 1982, wich is untrue. Taking in account they won a GP in the 50's according to the article, there is no way this is accurate, no matter how you interpret it. Funny. Maybe it is a typo? --Ciroa 03:55, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I think what's meant is the longest time period between first and last/most recent win.--Don Speekingleesh 10:55, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Default for Scuderia
I don't believe Scuderia should default to here. It means "racing team" and is now as applicable to Scuderia Torro Rosso as Scuderia Ferrari.
- Scuderia has now been changed to a disambiguation page. DH85868993 13:29, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Scuderia Ferrari in sportscar racing
Why there is not article in their involvement in sportscar racing, in which they were involved until 1973, don't also forget, they were instrumental in the infamous Cobra Ferrari Wars during the 60's WilliRennen 18:51, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Gilles Villeneuve
We're having a push to get the Villeneuve article up to GA standard. Any Villeneuve fans want to come over to Gilles Villeneuve and help out? References and pictures would be most welcome, for example. Cheers 4u1e 7 July 2006
[edit] This page needs to be policed for POV/tone
Here are some of the worst examples of POV and inappropriate tone in the article that I've removed:
- "They managed to fight back to take some points home with them. "
- "the car working perfectly for the German. "
- "Monaco proved to be another strong point of the 248 F1"
- "Was this to be a one off, or the beginning of a Ferrari comeback? Ferrari answered this question at the French Grand Prix with a second consecutive one-two in qualifying"
- "From France the Formula One circus moved onto Germany"
- "However in the race, it was another Ferrari benefit"
Please to those committed to NPOV, please keep an eye out. And to those who think there's nothing wrong with the above statements please read Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Words to avoid. Mark83 22:17, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Beginning
My understanding of it was that Ferrari started as a driver for Alfa Romeo, but proved a better race team manager. When they dropped their racing department, they outsourced it to the newly formed Scuderia Ferrari. Later, when they bought him out, the agreement was he could not manufacture cars under his own name for four years, after which Scuderia Ferrari was revived. This is heavily documented in Alfa Romeo history. That is from memory, but one could look up the details with Google. Seasalt 14:05, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] B-Class
Lots and lots of content (good). No references (bad), and writing could use polishing in places. General structure is OK (perhaps a bit repetitive?), but isn't balanced evenly across the whole of the history of the team, or across the F1 and Sportscar actitivies. 4u1e 15:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Drivers' list
I have added some bits to it, but there is one thing missing or it seems to be heavily ignored, that is sportscar racing, so on this list why isn't Brian Redman, Sandro Munari, Willy Mairesse, Olivier Gendebien and Nino Vaccarella mentioned as they have been involved in factory drives, non-F1 of course.

- Also, people keep adding Raikkonen and Massa. Perhaps it just needs to be changed to a list of drivers, rather than a list of former drivers? DH85868993
[edit] Marlboro Removed From Team Name
Technically now the team is only called Scuderia Ferrari and it should be stated as such in the article.
- Source? They clearly said Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro on the press conference yesterday. / F1 fan —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.105.81.22 (talk) 08:47, 19 March 2007 (UTC).
