Ferrari is the most prestigious team in Formula 1. It is the team with the most wins (244), the most pole positions ( 249) and more drivers' (15) and constructors' (16) championships.
Hamilton will seek his eighth title with a team that in the last two years showed good progress, but was very far from being able to fight for the crown. The Scuderia is experiencing lean days: its last championship of drivers achieved it in 2007, with the Finnish Kimi Räikkönen.
