Ferrari's true passion, despite his extensive road car business, was auto racing. His Scuderia started as an independent sponsor for drivers in various cars, but soon became the Alfa Romeo in-house racing team. After Ferrari's departure from Alfa, he began to design and produce cars of his own. The Ferrari team first appeared on the scene after the end of World War II. The Scuderia joined the Formula One World Championship in the first year of its existence, 1950. José Froilán González gave the team its first victory at the 1951 British Grand Prix. Owning a Ferrari is expensive, for you have to maintain excellent quality Ferrari parts.
