Italian businessman Piero Ferrari, the second and only living son of Enzo Ferrari, and a 10% owner of the Ferrari automotive company of which he is the vice chairman, was asked about who he thinks best driver in history and the driver he remembers most fondly.
Piero Ferrari remembers Gilles Villeneuve and Niki Lauda. Especially the Austrian three-time Formula One world champion, who came to have his ‘friction’ with Enzo, but highlights the mutual respect that was between them at all times.
“Gilles Villeneuve was a friend and had special qualities, but Niki changed the history of the races. Then, between him and my father everything ended badly, but in time they got close again The mutual respect between them was very strong,” Piero Ferrari said, as reported by the Italian media.
At the same time, Piero Ferrari is confident that Formula 1 will return to action in early July in Austria: “First of all, I hope that the engines will start again in July, in Austria. It will not be easy to beat Mercedes, but we will never stop trying and our fans know it. I have faith in the choices that have been made.” – he concluded.
