F1 | Piero Ferrari on Indianapolis: “My father would have liked to win there”
“I like the Indianapolis 500,” Drake's son continued
In a chat given to the Gazzetta dello Sport, Piero Ferrari spoke about the relationship between the Scuderia di Maranello and the Indianapolis 500, underlining how his father, founder of the Cavallino, always dreamed of a victory in the most important championship in the world.
Due to clashes with FIA and FOCA, we remember, Enzo Ferrari manufactured a car for Indy in the '80s, threatening the farewell of Formula 1. A purely political "game" that brought the desired results, given that the English decided to listen to Drake's requests.
“Indianapolis? I like", declared Piero Ferrari to Rosea. “I had the pleasure of experiencing his first victory at the 500 Miglia with Giampaolo Dallara. Ferrari had been there with Ascari. Then in the '80s we built an Indy to give a signal to the FIA and FOCA, but it never made a kilometre. Deep down I think my father would have liked to win there."
