Ferrari is the only manufacturer to have competed in all editions of the World Drivers’ Championship (commonly known as the Formula 1 Drivers Championship) since its creation in 1950. For many years, it has also been the only team to build every part of its racing in house: chassis, engine, gearbox, suspension. At the end of 2017, Ferrari held 15 Drivers’ and 16 Constructors’ titles. It also holds the records for the greatest number of wins (229), (2013) and number of fastest laps (244). A total of 74 drivers have raced officially for Ferrari in Formula 1, 38 of them have won at least one Grand Prix. It should be pointed out that the World Constructor’s title was only established in 1958. Had it been created in the same year as the Drivers’ title, Ferrari would have won it in 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954 and 1956, too. Drivers
