Stirling Speaks – Ferrari

The current good form being shown by Ferrari in Formula One means a lot of people ask me what I think of Ferrari, and why I never drove for the Scuderia.

Of course, I did drive Ferraris, though not that many times, and I always drove private cars or cars which were run by some of the Ferrari teams such as Luigi Chinetti’s North American Racing Team, NART. But I never drove for Enzo Ferrari or for the factory team. In fact, it was my first contact with Ferrari which put me off driving for his team, and in many ways that turned out to be unfortunate.
