Formula 1s only ever-present team, Scuderia Ferrari are undoubtedly the sports most famous name, and comfortably the most successful with 238 race wins and a combined 31 titles, a significant margin ahead of any of its rivals. The Ferrari name precedes Formula 1 with its humble pre-war beginnings as the racing division of Alfa Romeo in the hands of Enzo Ferrari, before the first Ferrari, the 125 S, was built in 1947. The inaugural Formula 1 Championship was established in 1950, and Ferrari made their debut at the second race in Monaco. Despite only seven races in 1950 and strong opponents in the dominant Alfa Romeo, it only took until July 1951 for José Froilán González to score Ferraris first win, and just one further season for Alberto Ascari to claim their first Drivers Championship. Ferrari were already world renown by the start of the next decade, claiming the first of its Constructors Championships and already its fifth Drivers title in 1961. As many Formula 1 teams rose and fell over time, Ferrari continued to adapt and excel, winning a combined 10 titles between 1960 and 1980. Then, the golden era, with Michael Schumacher and technical chief Ross Brawn. Ferrari would secure six straight constructors titles from 1999 to 2004, with Schumacher the Drivers Champion in all but one of those seasons. In its first 1000 races, 75 drivers have raced for the Scuderia and a further 35 competitors raced privately entered Ferraris. 38 drivers have at least one Grand Prix victory, whilst 9 took up the mantle of World Champion when wearing the famous red racesuits.
