Maranello red cars have won eight of the last ten constructors' championships - and a convincing argument for the Scuderia is considered the best team in history ... "single dedication to a group effort - that makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work 'Vince Lombardi
.
In early 1959, Vince Lombardi 45-YEAR
years, accepted a position as head coach of the Green Bay Packers in the NFL. To reach temperatures below zero in Wisconsin, with icy winds hitting from Lake Michigan, could not deceive himself about the task facing: the Packers had won just one game in the football season of 1958. From the still burning ashes of a disastrous year, began to instill discipline, an unmatched work ethic and devotion to the team above all else. Ten years later, had five NFL championships - and two Super Bowls. No team has come close to his record and now Lombardi is known as the best coach in history.
Although individual sport is different, the principles for achieving sporting success are not so. They are, as Lombardi knew universal. Quietly away from the bustle the public for the drivers' championship, the F1 was witnessed his own remarkable dynasty took shape in the last decade.
The constructors' title will not mean much to millions of observers,
but for a team is everything gathered evidence that a challenge to two orders stronger than any other opposition, a feat that can not be work one talented driver. A team has eight of the last ten constructors' crowns - a dominant race missed only the regulations of 2005 and by a failure outside of time in the Japanese Grand Prix 2006. That team and 
s Ferrari. His record of success is unmatched in the history of Formula One and the eight cars proved to be the fastest and most reliable on the season where they won. In a way inevitable, this remarkable run began under a cloud of controversy. Ferrari F399 both were disqualified from the penultimate round of the 1999 season in Malaysia, due to side deflectors larger than allowed. The decision was annulled six days after the Court of Appeal of the FIA, reinstating Eddie Irvine and Michael Schumacher in the first and second respectively. Ferrari took second and third place in the next round, where they decided the title in Japan, winning his first constructors 'title since 1983 (although Mika Hakkinen Eddie Irvine won the drivers' crown.)
Irvine was the main man in 1999, after Schumacher broke his leg at Silverstone, but 2000 marks the beginning of the year Schumi dominant. Ferrari took both titles this year and not released until the 2005 season, when Bridgestone was not up to the rule "one tire per race."
Between 2000 and 2005, Ferrari took 51 of the 85 possible pole positions and won 57 races
, an incredible 67% of maximum. The team's 990 points included 23 final one to two. In short, nobody else in Formula One could touch: the actions of Ferrari in 2002 and 2004 rivaled even the famous McLaren, 1988 season, when they came to a total domination, it won every race but one. is often criticized for its isolation, F1, and it is not uncommon to hear complaints that a discipline in which participants "just sit and spin a wheel" is not a sport. But make no mistake: the success of Ferrari in the last ten years is remarkable not only in F1, has no competition co
n any other sports team in the world. Football, Manchester United won six of the last ten Premiership titles: impressive, but nowhere near the Scuderia. In U.S. sports, the highest score is 4 out of 10 that took the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA. Compared Ferrari was twice as good in the last decade. In Mexican football are the Chivas of Guadalajara, a team founded in 1906 therefore has 103 years of history, within which won the title 11 times in league championships, the first won it in the fifties and Finally in 2006, strong numbers but neither comes close to the Scuderia. is much more amazing when you consider the challenge of molding to 1.000 people in a cohesive unit, rather than a gang of about twenty players. For any sports team, success is difficult - just ask him to any of the drivers in the pits to confirm.
But getting the pin
Acula is only part of it, something very different is rising again after falling, and doing so with new personnel in key positions. In 2005 and 2006, Renault won both races to beat Ferrari and even the talent at the end of the season, Schumacher could be avoided. At the end of 2006, Ross Brawn was like the five-time champion, Ferrari still fought back and took both titles in the heated battle for the championship in the 2007 season. For 2008 Stefano Domenicali has replaced
Jea n Todt as team principal, and although the legendary smooth operation is turbeó sometimes won with what was the fastest car - although their inability to generate sufficient temperature in the tires caused the pilots act in a very inconsistent. But 13 fastest laps in 17 races marked the passage, though it was unlocked with Ferrari as often as he wanted. The triumphs of the past two seasons prove to be more than a repetition of the Schumacher days, because it succeeded with a fresh generation of leaders groomed in the team. Felipe Massa went from being a young crazy a serious contender for the championship, while Kimi Raikkonen was taking speed for success - if he found answers to their woes in the rankings in 2008. Stefano Domenicali
phone with a touch of calm and affectionate Latin style
was absent in the previous regime. In contrast, with an institution like the Manchester United trembles at the prospect of living with manager Sir Alex Ferguson, the same way, McLaren has not run under the watchful eye of Ron Dennis from the pitwall. 2008 was a golden snap closure for Ferrari's dominant decade thanks to the similarities of 1999: McLaren won the title pilot (his first in a decade), while Ferrari overcame the
constructors crown. Both can be called as world champions, but on this occasion although some disputes arose from the decisions of officials, there was no baffle that pointed toward a clear preference for the Scarlet team, the component now sits on a pedestal at the offices Parisian of the FIA, the Maranello offer as a gift to the federation's ironic. cynical eye will see him as a good repetition of the décad
a dominant Scuderia. Or maybe just explained shows that when it comes to history, romance and success, no team can compare, so far, with Ferrari. Source: F1 Racing.
