Quote of the Week

“Never settle for mediocrity. Always strive to be the best in everything you do.” – Roger Penske

The Last Lap

In honor of former F1 team owner Enzo Osella, who passed away at 86 recently, Jake Boxall-Legge of Autosport Plus looks back at a key part of his team's history. Osella's 1984 car - the FA1F - was arguably its best, and thrust the small Italian squad into F1's midfield order.

"Ghinzani labelled the FA1F as one of his favourite cars to drive across his career. While among the lower runners on one-lap pace, sitting around the Tyrrells, pre-turbo Arrows, RAMs, and the sole Spirit entry, Ghinzani found the car easy to handle in the races and could be depended on to keep the car in the race."

To your success on track and off!
