It's all in the name - Scuderia Ferrari is founded in 1929 by Italian racer and entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari (pictured here in 1964)

Lauda gets the Scuderia back to winning ways, clinching the drivers' championship with five race victories and helping Ferrari to a third constructors' crown in 1975

Ferrari's decision to hire double world champion Michael Schumacher from Benetton in 1996 proves the catalyst to turning around the team's fortunes and in his first season the German wins three races

But Schumacher is disqualified from the 1997 standings for his controversial move on title rival Jacques Villeneuve in the final race. In 1999 his title chances end when he breaks his leg at Silverstone

The wait is finally over in 2000 as Schumacher claims nine race victories to wrap up the drivers' and constructors' crowns

A close battle in 2003 is settled at the season-ending Japanese GP as Schumacher does enough to pip McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen to the title by two points, winning a sixth crown to surpass Fangio's record

Felipe Massa emerges as Ferrari's main contender in 2008 and wins six races but, in a reversal of last season's fortune, he loses the drivers' crown to McLaren rival Lewis Hamilton by one point in Brazil
