Scuderia Ferrari (taken from www.answers.com)

Scuderia Ferrari is the common name for the Gestione Sportiva, the division of the Ferrari automobile company concerned with racing. Though the Scuderia and Ferrari Corse Clienti continue to manage the racing activities of numerous Ferrari customers and private teams, Ferrari's racing division has recently devoted its attention and funding to its Formula One team, Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro.

Ferrari first competed in F1 in 1950 (the team's first F1 car was the Tipo 125 F1), making it the oldest team left in the championship, not to mention the most successful. The team's current drivers are Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello, and its test drivers are Luca Badoer and Marc Gené. The team principal is Jean Todt, and its technical director is Ross Brawn. Ferrari is one of three F1 teams currently using Bridgestone tires (the remainder use Michelins).

The team's numerous and ardent Italian fans have come to be known as tifosi.

Scuderia Ferrari is Italian for "Ferrari Stable", though the name is liberally translated as "Team Ferrari."
