Product Information

It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation.

This book provides a rare glimpse into the world-famous Ferrari factory, onto the Ferrari test track and inside the Ferrari garage. Located within the Centro Stile design centre, the Modelleria is where mathematical designers, modellers and colour and trim specialists work together on a fundamental stage in the construction of a new Prancing Horse.Housed in the location originally chosen by company founder Enzo Ferrari in 1947, the 165,000-square-metre plant, in Maranello, Italy, produces 8,400 cars a year and employs 1,300 workers.

From the greatest automobile racing team in the world, Inside Ferrari is an exclusive and intimate report from inside Formula One’s most successful, most alluring and most secretive racing team. Sowohl die Bilder aus der Rennabteilung als insbesondere auch einige Porträts von Michael Schumacher dürften in ihrer Art einmalig sein und lohnen allein schon den Erwerb dieses schönen Buchs. Ferrari: From Inside and Outside represents the first time that two legendary Formula 1 photographers, Rainer Schlegelmilch and Ercole Colombo, have collaborated. The first and most critical stage is the casting of the engine, which takes place in the plant’s in-house foundry.I think to run a race team is different to a lot of other companies, because you don't have to motivate the people, the motivation is there and the motivation is very over full in terms of the management. And tomorrow we have the first 100km where we will continue with the build-up to Bahrain, but obviously until Bahrain we won't know how the car is handling and how it is performing, but at least we will have covered some nice steps in the right direction. The buildings and facilities designed by world-leading architects of the likes of Renzo Piano, Massimiliano Fuksas, Jean Nouvel, Marco Visconti and Luigi Sturchio are also fascinating. Ob im Werk, bei Testfahrten oder an den Rennstrecken - aus allen Perspektiven geben die zum Teil großformatigen und duchweg brillanten Farbfotos die dichte und packende Atmosphäre der Formel 1 wieder.
