Such a manipulator of men.
He regarded it as a sport
in its own right, I think.
The Scuderia was a stable effectively
the best talent that he could find.
The drivers were
the public face of the Scuderia
and he would take the cream
of the talent that was available to him.
Eugenio Castellotti
came from a little town called Lodi.
He got into racing
because it was a big macho deal.
It was what the king of the kids
would do. "Hey, look at me."
And he did have a talent.
He had a shining talent, in fact.
Musso was from Rome.
He was an Elio di Angelis of the time,
whereas Castellotti was
a street fighter from northern Italy.
Luigi Musso was a charismatic Italian
racing driver of the first order.
The guy was very good.
and Musso were at Ferrari together
there was a certain amount
of shared responsibility, if you like.
You've got two drivers there
who brought Italy into Grand Prix racing
in a way that is unimaginable now
because the whole country was behind
them and both of them gave it 100%.
Fon de Portago was a nobleman
and a sportsman
and he was
a very attractive personality.
He was a real playboy,
but he was a playboy, you know,
who didn't mind getting his hands dirty.
He is a man devoted to sport,
whether it be skiing,
bobsleighing, waterskiing,
swimming, fishing, hunting,
whatever it might be.
He was in some ways
the sort of most natural Ferrari driver
of the whole of the 1950s.
If you had to design a Ferrari driver,
it would have been Fon de Portago.
And he had the girlfriends
to go with it too.
The Scuderia was led
by Juan Manuel Fangio
and Castellotti apparently
would hang on Fangio's every word.
Fangio to me is the best driver
in the world bar none.
He was a great man. He was a man
that whatever he could do once,
And it was a beautiful balance
and a rhythm of a man and a vehicle.
Enzo Ferrari was once asked
when a car crosses the line
to take the checkered flag,
how much of it is car,
how much of it is driver?
And he said, "60% car, 40% driver."
The sad thing was that Ferrari
learning how to deal with the drivers
individual to individual.
Now every driver
has a different style of his own.
Hawthorn has an expression of a man
who is fighting on his face.
Peter Collins
is always making faces at the crowd,
not deliberately,
but I have yet to see a picture of Peter
in which he isn't making
some kind of a face.
Peter Collins
had been driving for BRM
and then he was offered
a drive with Ferrari,
which would have been fantastic.
