Thieves target Ferrari factory
Posted in Motorsport, News by Sniff Petrol on Tuesday, December 9th, 2014
Just days after Red Bull was subject to a daring smash-and-grab raid, thieves have now targeted the Ferrari F1 factory in Maranello in an audacious overnight break-in.
Sources in Italy say the burglars were looking for trophies marking wins in races from the 2014 season. They were also targeting the valuable silverware that comes from scoring a top three finish in the drivers’ or constructors’ championships during the last year.
More worryingly, it’s believed the intruders’ main intention was to steal the blueprints for making a quick and successful Formula 1 car and to kidnap the person who unifies and leads the whole team to glory.
The thieves left empty handed.

"I actually think cars are almost incidental to Ferrari," Marchionne said last month when announcing plans to spin off Ferrari from its mass-market parent Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV. "It sounds sacrilegious. But it is truly a luxury brand."
Marchionne has already shown his interest in bringing car-making and fashion together by putting fashion designer Ermenegildo Zegna on the board of Fiat Chrysler
But analysts say there is more the company can do to monetize that image
