  • History of Ferrari racing rather than bio

    Good book with lots of detail about Enzo and the larger than life characters in his life - drivers, engineers, money men - but relatively little insight into his upbringing and personal life. This is kept discreetly in the background and only mentioned in brief snatches. The focus is on the racetrack - which Enzo rarely visited after he gave up driving himself - and the scuderia / factory. Still interesting but few peeks behind the mask of the man himself.
