Scuderia Ferrari HP, often just called Scuderia Ferrari or just Ferrari, is the part of Ferrari SpA, an Italian car-making company, that builds racing cars. Most of the team's money is used for its Formula One team, Scuderia Ferrari. "Scuderia" is Italian for "Stable", and Ferrari is the surname of Enzo Ferrari, the founder of the Ferrari company. They are also sometimes called the Prancing Horses because of Ferrari's logo.

Scuderia Ferrari was started in 1929, and raced for Alfa Romeo until 1939. Ferrari first started in Formula One when it began in 1950, making it the oldest F1 team.[1] The team's fans are called "tifosi", meaning "fans" in Italian, and there are tifosi worldwide.

One of the most famous Ferrari drivers was Michael Schumacher, who won five Formula One Drivers' Championships with Ferrari. He drove in this team from 1996 until 2006.[2] Schumacher worked with Ferrari after he stopped racing. In 2007, Kimi Räikkönen won the Drivers' Championship for Ferrari. In 2008, Felipe Massa lost the Championship to Lewis Hamilton by one point. Ferrari won the Constructors' Championship in 2007 and 2008.

Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton are the team's drivers as of 2026.
