As a guy who absolutely loves cars, I had a difficult time liking Enzo. From what I had known about him, he had a bad reputation for caring more about winning than the lives of his drivers and was often pushing them to their deaths. But there were times in this video that genuinely had me choked up. Seeing him mourn the deaths of his father, brother and son gave me a greater appreciation for him. I hope he rests in peace.
That could be said about a lot of racing pioneers. There are plenty of people that still to this day think Colin Chapman is practically a murderer. Just ask Jochen Rindt's widow.
Race Car drivers have little caring for there own lives.they always think they can cheat death.most do some don't that is why they have safety standards in racing that don't come from the teams.
Enzo was a sensitive man in a lot of ways. The deaths of his drivers hit him pretty hard. He was not a butcher. That’s the way racing was back then. Racing was a risk and the drivers knew what they signed up for
I still remember watching the 1988 Italian Grand Prix and seeing the entire team along with the tifosi weeping with joy when Gerhard Berger crossed the line to take their first win at their home race in two years a little over three months after "ill commandatore" passed. The 1988 italian grand prix was the only race not won by McLaren that season.
@@bicyclist2 Gerhard Berger said of the win: "enzo is looking down on us smiling in quiet approval as if this was all his plan, as if he was god's right hand'.
Beautiful biographic Simon. Can you do one on Ken Miles, I feel people need to know more about the honest to good racing driver who the world never knew. Until the movie of course.
Lamborghini was pissed that his Ferrari was a hunk of crap. Lamborghini went to Ferrari saying “hey, your car is a piece of crap”, Ferrari told him to take a hike, Lamborghini said I’m gonna build my own car. End of story
I heard that Ferrari banged Lamborghini's mom - which enraged his father who punished him severely. Lamborghini then built his own car, which enraged his father who punished him severely.
Enzo Ferrari is one of the most fascinating men to enter the automotive industry. Thanks for making this video. Ettore Bugatti would also make for a good video. I’ve seen him compared to Enzo Ferrari in at least two car books that I have. EDIT: Oh hello, I was not expecting the rivalry with Maserati to make an appearance. That continued well into the post-WWII era.
This episode made me very happy. I’d love to see bios of most of the people you named, especially Carroll Shelby and Bruce McClaren. I grew up in amateur road racing because my dad raced and worked at the local track when I was a kid. By the time I was old enough to work in track safety (the idiots in white that run into traffic to help disabled cars), I was going to Brainerd International Raceway. I got to meet Paul Newman there when he was driving. Cool guy. I miss going to the track.
Lamborghini's first car was the 350 GTV. The "V" sands for Vingalle who built the body. Enzo also had arguments with an engine engineer named Giotto Bizzarinni who went on to start his own car company. Enzo also had arguments with a Swiss gentleman named Montiverdi who went on to start his own car company. Many Enzo era Ferrari's have graffiti on the insides of the body panels and some had metal shavings in the engines. I grew up studying exotic cars as a kid. Thanks.
It would be interesting to see a spreadsheet of how much economic activity was generated by car guy egos and decisions based in arrogant reactions. This episode has extreme re-watchability.
As a former owner of a Skoda S110L who actually tore the engine down to replace a loose big end, I think that disqualifies me as a follower of performance cars. Nevertheless, I found myself watching this to the end with interest. Great channel!
how about the one ferrari called ford and told him he would come to amerika to race at which ford all but disappeared from the european racetracs for several years
the most ironic is that years and years after the Maserati/Ferrari rivalry is that both are under Fiat umbrella and they turned an iconic Ferrari into a Maserati to race (and win) races
Old man Enzo really did embody what car people today quote from Jeremy Clarkson: "to people like you and I cars are alive- you can even develop a relationship with them", he appreciated what a car can be when someone strives for automotive perfection
Maintain the delicate machinery used for carrying artillery equipment up the mountains... ...the horses and donkeys. I fell for that one pretty hard LOL
Found your latest video to say Merry Christmas Simon, you're one of my favourite show hosts of all time, thank you for the joy and learning you bring into my life and I hope you and yours have a joyous Christmas and blessed new year
I remember watching a documentary of Ferrari, and I believe I heard Ensor Ferrari talk about giving advice to a new racer wishing to dominate the track. I can’t really remember what he said, but I’ll quote it. “If you don’t have any talent in racing, then leave. A person with special talent can only succeed.”
not quite, he said something like, "as a father I would say no to racing, but as a racer myself I would say yes, but only if you have the natural talent". Basically saying, don't waste your talent if you have it but if you don't have it, then don't waste your life.
fun Fact: The F40 was originally conceived as the 288 GTO Evolutizione and was intended to be ferrari's first factory backed competitor in Group B of the 1987 season world rally championship but Henri Toivenenen was killed in a horrific wreck at the Tour De Corse in 1986 (a year after Atillio Bertarga was killed at the same event) and group b was officially banned for 1987 so the care was reworked into the F40.
A funny thing happened recently Simon. I went deer hunting with two guys that I had never met before. During the conversation it transpired that all three of us knew you by name from watching your videos. Go you!
One super strange fact about Enzo Ferrari I didn't hear in this video is that he never attended the races his cars were entered in. It's a bit strange for a guy who cared so much about racing, but I think it was a kind of superstition for him. So when the Ford vs. Ferrari/Le Mans 1966 movie showed Enzo in the paddock for the 1966 Le Mans race, that didn't actually happen.
Gt40 wasn't built from scratch......... Ford employed Shelby who in turn brought John Wyer on board, Wyer was a master race team manager and the guy Shelby referred to as his Mentor, he suggested to save time in development they approach a slightly eccentric but genius race car builder in Eric Broadley (owner of Lola cars) he had just built a car called the Lola Mk6 GT that had been entered into that years Lemans (it didn't finish due to gear box failure) it had the potential to become a great racer with investment. So Ford bought the Mk6 GT from Broadley and changed it's name to the Ford GT then wrote Broadly out of the cars history portraying it as the great american supercar. As for Ferrari at Lemans........ Ferrari withdrew from Lemans in 67 never to return and so did Ford (Ford withdrew because of the new rule's preventing his 'All American' Mk4 being eligible and Shelby gave up racing for a few reasons including taking Ken Miles death hard), John Wyer returned with the legendary Gulf Mk1 to win back to back 68 and 69 but there was no Works Ferrari competing just like the 2016 Ford GT.
It's also not true that Ferrari never won LeMans again. They haven't won overall but they have won the GT class. For instance they won both GTE Pro and GTE Am in 2014.
@@wingracer1614 He should have said Ferrari never entered factory works cars again, there was of course privateer's who did well in their class but Ferrari moved all their money/effort to F1.
I always saw the Ferrari v's Ford battle as a draw, Ferrari won in 65 against Ford and Ford won in 67 with his 'All American mk4'..... 66,68 and 69 Ford Cheated by using another manufactures design.
Really Tazio is one on his own, as are father and son Ascari, and let's not forget Sir John Surtees, the only one to win a world championship on 2 wheels and 4. Also Agostini, because why stick to 4 wheels??
Thank you for this video!! Have always enjoyed your video in biographics and your other channels. I was a wondering if you are able to do a video about ayrton Senna? Thank you
When Ferrari is doing well in F1 the road cars aren't very good. When Ferrari isn't doing well in F1 the road cars are great. I believe it was Lucca de Montezemolo took over after Ferrari passed. This is the kind of story I'm very passionate about. Thank you.
I feel like all history classes should be this way. A short Brit with an awesome serenading monotone and full of knowledge, teaching history to the masses, and in under an hour. (most of the time).
I've always found the Whittington Brothers story fascinating and amusing but i think they are still alive!! Thats a movie right there!! Drug smugglers who used their ill gotten gains to cheat their way to a Lemans win with a huge bag of cash, Adrenalin junkies that ultimately ended up in jail........ then a huge legal battle to try and get their Lemans winning car back from a museum they had given it too years earlier and when the Museum guys went into their storage to look for the Porsche they found the missing Ferrari LM that beat Ford in 1965 parked next to the 935 K3 Lemans winning Porsche that had just been forgotten about. Mad story.
Even as a well informed Ferrari fan I really liked this video. Thanks! Great info and great footage. One small thing... Porsche has an E at the end and it's audible :)
Shortly after Enzo Ferrari's death, Ferrari's F1 team scored a 1-2 finish at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza. BTW, during the 1988 F1 season, this was the only race that was not won by McLaren. And if you're inclined to do another episode about a historical figure in auto racing, may I suggest Dan Gurney?
What does a hydraulic honing machine do: The honing process provides the final sizing and creates the desired finish pattern on the interior of tubing or cylinder bores. Finishing is accomplished by expanding abrasive stones of suitable grit and grade against the work surface.
Eliska Junkova would be a great one to do. A woman that was capable of going wheel to wheel with some of the pre war greats. Almost had her history wiped by the Soviets. She was born before the soviet Union was formed and out lived them and saw the fall of a union that tried to hide her history. She probably was the female racing driver of all time, definitely the best female racer during the 1920s
I’d love to see an episode about Eliška Junková (Elisabeth Junek), one of the first woman automobile racers 👍🏻 as allways, great job Simon & colleagues
Ferrari's four winning drivers in the early 1960s, included, Bruce Maclaran, and formula one world champion, Chris Amon who were both New Zealanders. Their compatrate Dennie Holme, too was alone to be a formula one world champion. Great team for Ferrari.
When I was in Elementary School 50 years ago, the library was filled with many biographies that were geared for children. Many were quite accurate for the young reader, and made the historical figures more real to me. I always enjoyed biographies since then. How about a Geographics on Hollywood and how it came to be? I enjoy your videos immensely.
you forgot one of the most touching things about the '52/'53 titles: the driver was alberto ascari, the son of antonio ascari, whom you mentioned as the first friend of enzo to die at the wheel

Interesting fact to know, when Enzo Ferrari died in 1988, 4 things were on his desk: a phone, a diary, a calendar.. and a photo of the piccolo Canadese. "My past is scarred with grief, father, mother, brother, sister, wife ...my life is full of sad memories. I look back and I see my loved ones and among my loved ones I see the face of this great man: Gilles Villeneuve,'' he had said few years earlier.
Love to see more on Motorsport racers and even famous or not so famous racing disasters. Would really love it if you considered covering Mike Hawthorn, Jim Clark and Juan Manuel Fangio.
please do an episode on Jochen Rindt, the only driver to win the F1 championship postumosly and one of the last drivers who won with a Ferrari at LeMans in 1965 . also he was a serious car entertainer and very interesting personality

Gotta do an episode on Ferdinand Porsche now too. He designed tanks during ww2 on top of starting an automobile company.
Ferrari is the most trusted brand in the world.
1st thing to know about old man Enzo, he was possibly the most stubborn man to have ever walked the Earth. Seriously
"Enzos third and most enduring passion was simply, speed"
Fair play, more of a coke man myself

Quite fitting that he worked as a Blacksmith. Ferrari translates as metal worker (or Smith) in English.

You should do Ken Miles (Le Mans 66)
Love to see more on Motorsport racers and even famous or not so famous racing disasters. Would really love it if you considered covering Mike Hawthorn, Jim Clark and Juan Manuel Fangio.
