Ferrari’s first one dates back to 14th July 1951 at Silverstone and the British Grand Prix, when Jose Froilan Gonzalez won at the wheel of a 375 F1. Last year, at the same event, Ferrari celebrated the 50th anniversary of that first F1 success. The 50th victory came in 1974 thanks to Niki Lauda at the wheel of a 312 B3-74 in the Spanish Grand Prix, while Alain Prost racked up the 100th, taking victory in the 1990 French GP with the F1-90. 2000 saw the record for the most number of wins in a season, with 9 grands prix victories.
