To those who knew him, this was not unexpected since Ferrari had been involved in motor racing all his adult life going back to the 1920s, first as a driver and then as a successful team manager running Alfa Romeos, so racing was in his blood.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It didn\u2019t take long before his small but quick cars were producing victories. On May 25, 1947, Franco Cortese recorded Ferrari\u2019s first win driving a little 1.5-liter V12 model identified as a 125 Sport (chassis number 01 C) on the Caracalla circuit in the Rome Grand Prix.
