Scuderia Ferrari and Formula 1 racing have been inseparable. The only team to have competed in every season since the world championship began, the Prancing Horse has grown from the humble dream of founder Enzo Ferrari to become one of the most quintessential and recognized brands in the world. Success came quickly through Alberto Ascari and John Surtees, and continued – even in tough times – with Niki Lauda in the 1970s and then Michael Schumacher in the 2000s, when Ferrari claimed a then exceptional five consecutive titles, securing their status as the most successful and adorned team in the history of F1. 

Officially founded in the autumn of 1929 by Enzo Ferrari with the name Societa Anonima Scuderia Ferrari to enter amateur drivers in various races. The Italian team was successful from the very first years, with important wins in several international competitions, before making its Formula 1 debut at the 1950 Monaco Grand Prix, which was held on 21 May 1950 at Monaco and was the second round in the history of Formula 1; and is the only team to be continuously present since then. Ferrari won their first World Championship GP with José Froilán González at Silverstone in 1951. The first World Championship title came in 1952 with Alberto Ascari, followed by a second the next year. In order to fund their racing endeavors in various events like F1, Mille Miglia and 24h of Le Mans, Enzo Ferrari decided to sell Ferrari race cars.
