“For every generation, Scuderia Ferrari is a symbol for all those who have a passion for racing. Looking to the youngsters and to the future, I hope this initiative can contribute to the development of young drivers and also to the regeneration of motorsport in our country.”
Gino Macaluso, ACI-CSAI President
“One of the stated duties of the Federation is the development of this sport in Italy, and that includes promoting young drivers. I am grateful to Ferrari and to Luca di Montezemolo for having shown such enthusiasm in offering the great opportunity to three promising hopes of Italian motorsport not only to realise their dream of driving a Ferrari Formula One car, but also of experiencing at firsthand what it is to work with a team that is the quintessential expression of motor racing at world level.”
