The 2006 Ferrari World Finals were brought to a close today at the Monza circuit with the traditional demonstration from Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro. The key moment of the event that rounds off the Prancing Horse’s racing season was a tribute to the Formula 1 career of Michael Schumacher.
Ferrari President, Luca di Montezemolo, Vice-president Piero Ferrari, Chief Executive Officer Jean Todt, Managing Director Amedeo Felisa and the entire team then acknowledged and thanked the crowd of over 45,000 spectators.
Particularly heartfelt was the acknowledgement of the German driver, whose racing career has ended, although he will continue to have a role with Ferrari.
Completing the busy programme were the display of single-seaters prepared by the Maranello F1 Clienti department and runs for the laboratory car from the exclusive FXX Programme. A special initiative from the Scuderia Ferrari Club then saw some members taking part in the final round of the 2006 Soap Box race, for four wheeled vehicles without engines, based on the imaginative designs of these enthusiasts. |
