Scuderia Ferrari

When you talk about Formula 1, you start with Ferrari. Scuderia Ferrari is the most iconic and successful team in the sport’s history — and honestly, it’s not particularly close. Founded by Enzo Ferrari, competing since the very first World Championship race in 1950, 16 Constructors’ Championships, more race victories than any team in existence. That prancing horse badge is the most recognisable symbol in motorsport, and the Tifosi — Ferrari’s famously passionate fanbase — are renowned worldwide for a devotion that borders on religious.

Based in Maranello, Italy, Ferrari is the only team to have competed in every single season of the F1 World Championship. Let that sink in for a moment. The team’s history is inseparable from the history of the sport itself — from the legendary battles of the 1950s and 1960s through to the Michael Schumacher era of dominance when they won five consecutive Constructors’ titles from 1999 to 2004. There’s simply nothing else like it.

The Australian Grand Prix has produced some truly memorable Ferrari moments, including multiple victories at Albert Park. That enormous global following guarantees the Tifosi are always well represented in Melbourne, with fans in red creating a distinctive, unmistakable atmosphere throughout the Grand Prix weekend. Every Ferrari appearance at Albert Park is a spectacle in itself.

Team Profile

Ferrari enters 2026 with what might be the most exciting driver lineup the sport has seen in years — Lewis Hamilton alongside Charles Leclerc. Hamilton’s arrival from Mercedes is one of the biggest driver moves in F1 history, full stop, and it gives Ferrari a seven-time world champion alongside their established star. Under Fred Vasseur’s steady leadership, the team has been trending upward, and the combination of two elite drivers, Ferrari’s engineering prowess, and a fresh regulatory era makes the Scuderia arguably the most compelling storyline heading into the new season. This is appointment viewing.
