History
Early years
Scuderia Ferrari was founded in 1929 by Enzo Ferrari, initially as a vehicle to enter amateurs into various championships, before coming Alfa Romeo's de-facto factory team in 1933 - following an economic crisis for the Italian manufacturer. After changing ownership several times throughout the thirties, the company had a brief run manufacturing machine tools for the Italian war effort - whilst simultaneously designing a race car of their own, the A.V.C. Tipo 815. The team moved to their famous Maranello home in 1943, which was subsequently bombed in 1944.
Following the end of WWII, Ferrari revealed their first car of their own - the Tipo 125 S - which was successful in non-championship Grands Prix.
1950s
Ferrari were one of the first manufacturers to commit to the new Formula One world championship in 1950, boasting an impressive lineup of drivers including Toulo de Graffenried, Dorino Serafini and Peter Whitehead.
