Product Information

Maurice Hamilton is an Fl journalist with 25 years' experience and is editor of the Grand Prix annual, Autocourse .

Visitors are not permitted to leave the shuttle bus, take photographs or video footage during the Panoramic Tour. Ferrari’s V8 engines are assembled separately to V12s – the latter are more complex and require additional human attention, so get their own line.

Außerdem vermitteln die Illustrationen dem Leser nicht nur die überragenden Leistungen, sondern auch die mitreißende Begeisterung und schiere Freude dieses einzigartigen Formel 1-Teams und seiner Galionsfigur Michael Schumacher.

Indicators, lights and wipers are now controlled by switchgear on the wheel (as of the 458 Italia), but the 296 GTB advances the set-up that first appeared on the Ferrari Roma and uses touch-sensitive thumb pads on the wheel spars. Ferrari’s robots can change their own tools as they go, depending on the individual requirements at the time – or even replace them completely (some tools will last a year, some survive as little as ten passes). Around June, when there was speculation that I would be fired, Michael said, ‘If Jean leaves, I will leave as well.
