Just a snippet of Ferrari history. Gilles Villeneuve in a Ferrari at Monaco...1980 I believe. :D :D :D

I didn't know it was possible for a Ferrari to be that ugly! Not that any of the cars of that era that I've seen were pretty, but ick... :p

And modern F1 machines aren't hideous??? They look like dissected insects with wheels strapped to their legs...but I digress. :)

Only a true master can make something so ugly look so beautiful while in use. I never got to see him live, but his driving is just as impressive on videotape. Hell, even some of the stills you see around are frightening! :eek:

That's how a racecar should be driven. :devil:

Gilles often called it a "*****box", and that it handled like a "truck"
The Old Man just patted him on the head and said if Villnueve wasn't winning, it wasn't his fault. It must be the car.

Ferrari (sans Enzo) fired Prost much later for saying much less.

Enzo was all about the racing. His lack of interest in the business nearly cost him the racing, but in the end I think he had his priorities absolutely in the right place. :)
