Ferrari: Because Second Place is for the Weak

INTRODUCING FERRARI:

What is Ferrari, and why are we obsessed?

The Formula 1 World Championship was officially created in 1950 by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), a French. But trust me, the drama started way earlier—racing leagues in France, Italy, and Germany had already been battling it out for years.

Since then, F1 has been known for speed, power, style, and that iconic red paint job. From roaring engines to smooth corner turns, it’s become the runway of racing. And with over 1,000 races from 1950 to 2024, F1 has been serving wins for 74 years straight.

BUT WHO ARE THE LEGENDS DRIVING THESE FOUR-WHEELED BEASTS?

Let’s talk about Lewis Hamilton—a walking W. He joined Formula 1 in 2007 at the age of 22, and now holds 103 Grand Prix wins (yes, that’s a flex). He didn’t just race, he changed the game. People loved him for his talent, his fire, and let’s be real... the man’s got looks that could break a finish line.

WAIT—WHAT ABOUT WOMEN?

We talk about racers and forget... there are also women in the game.

Take Lella Lombardi. She raced in the 1970s, and though she didn’t win 12 races (quick fact check there ), she did something no other woman has done—scored points in a Formula 1 race, and became an icon for generations. Her last Grand Prix was in 1976, but her legacy is still doing laps in motorsport history.

SO, WHAT ACTUALLY IS FERRARI—AND WHY SO ICONIC?

Ferrari is not just a racing team. It’s a legacy on wheels. They’ve been breaking records, collecting trophies, and making every other team question their existence since 1950.

Ferrari proves that being fast isn’t enough—you gotta be smooth, bold, and maybe just a little dramatic in red.

FINAL LAP:

Ferrari is here to stay, and they’re not slowing down for anyone. From roaring engines to shattered records, they’ve shown us that racing is not just a sport—it’s an art. So until the next generation arrives, we say this:

“To every car—drive harder. To every driver—land safe.
