The week from 1 to 5 December in Ferrari history

1/12. Ferrari GT racer Andrea Bertolini turns 48. He was also a Scuderia test driver in the Michael Schumacher era. Although he never raced in Formula 1, Andrea completed endless kilometres of testing in the early 2000s at the wheel of Maranello single-seaters.

His great experience means he was also a designated tester for the F1 Clienti cars. In the summer of 2021, Andrea reached the milestone of 500 car shakedowns at the Fiorano track, when he went out in the 375 F1, which was then driven on the Sunday of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone as part of the 70th anniversary celebrations for the Scuderia’s maiden Formula 1 win..

2/12. In 1962, Lucien Bianchi took his first win in a Ferrari in the Angola Grand Prix, run on a track using roads in the capital Luanda. The Italian-born Belgian was at the wheel of a magnificent 250 GTO entered by Ecurie Francorchamps, the Belgian Ferrari importer run by Jacques Swaters, a personal friend of Enzo Ferrari. .

3/12. In 1960, at the tender age of 18, Mexico’s Ricardo Rodriguez won the Nassau Governor’s Trophy in the Bahamas. He drove a 250 Testa Rossa entered by a personal friend of Ferrari, Luigi Chinetti and after the win, he spoke highly of the Mexican to Enzo.

Ferrari offered him the opportunity to race in Formula 1 in the following year’s Italian Grand Prix, which made Rodriguez the youngest ever driver to race in Formula 1 until the arrival of Mike Thackwell in 1980.

4/12. Francois Migault was born in Le Mans in 1944. He took part in 13 Formula 1 GPs but mainly enjoyed a brilliant career in Endurance racing, in part with Ferrari. In a semi-works 365 GTB/4 entered by Luigi Chinetti’s NART, the Frenchman won the 1972 Daytona 24 Hours partnered with the American Milt Minter.

5/12. Henri Oreiller was born in Paris in 1925. He picked up the most medals at the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz. The skier won gold in the downhill with a 4”1 advantage over second placed Austrian Franz Gabl the biggest gap between first and second in this discipline at the Olympics, also winning the combined. Then came a bronze in the special slalom.

After hanging up his skis, Oreiller turned to rallying and sports car racing, “the only other sport that gives me the right shot of daily adrenaline,” he told journalists. He was equally proficient on wheels as on skis, usually racing Ferraris. He won the prestigious Coupes de Paris and Coupes du Salon in 1961 in a 250 GT and the following year he won the famous Albi GP. He lost his life that same year in the Paris 1000 Km, on the treacherous Montlhéry track..
