The 'halo effect' in Grand Prix racing
Ferrari at Indianapolis
Mutual love unanswered
|
The story of Ferrari and Indianapolis is a story of expectation and disappointment, of mutual love unanswered. Our Indy expert Henri Greuter uncovers the reasons why the uneasy relationship between the two never became a love affair, let alone a happy marriage. Having already covered Ferrari's first fruitless attempts at Indy in the fifties, going from Ascari to the 'Monzanapolis' bash, we now continue with two veritable ghost stories. Did you know that Ferrari also considered taking part at Indianapolis in the sixties and seventies? Well, now you do. Here are two stories of Ferrari and Indy's enfants terribles going 'side-by-side' and a certain 'Uncle Franco'. You'll be amazed. |
