Original subtitles

See that, Daddy? That's a record time.

It's a top driver.

It is a top-notch car.

If you show his lap time, add a second.

Don't let him know how fast he is.

Here I am.

It's a terrible day...

but you knew I wouldn't forget.

Things are going well in the factory.

We're getting good times with the new car.

He could use some more traction.

But he is going very fast.

But I myself am going slower and slower.

Every morning when I wake up...

I have a feeling it might be the last time.

I think we will soon be reunited.

Good morning, sir. - Good morning, Gabriella.

I came for the interview.

Sorry to be so late. - Don't worry, Mr. Ferrari.

I'm glad I was allowed to come. - I never talk to the press.

They write nothing but lies.

I am flattered That you are making an exception for me.

If you want to talk to me.

than without cameras and recorders.

I often wonder What a man like you dreams of.

I have to disappoint you. I have not been dreaming at all for years.

But you used to have a dream.

You wanted to build the fastest and most beautiful race car in the world.

Please tell me how that dream became a reality.

And how that reality became a legend.

I was...

only ten years.

Ten. Like the day of yesterday.

Who said you could come here? You must obey me.

But Alfredo was allowed. - Quietly, no buts.

Be careful and stay near me.

Now I have my own car. - Car? It's a piece of firewood.

Let's race and see who wins.

But don't cry when you lose. - Okay.

Faster, faster.

To whom does he owe that ?

It was you, wasn't it?

I didn't do anything. He just can't steer.

But I didn't do anything. - You stole those parts.

Why do you always have to have me? He can do everything and I can't do anything.

What are you doing? What is it?

Let me see. Can't you get any air?

It's okay.

Come on, Etc. Don't cry.

Listen carefully.

Always do your homework.

And don't go too crazy.

A man has to make something of his life.

Because what kind of man is he otherwise ?

What kind of man?

Rest assured, I will learn hard. I will become someone, I promise.

But you have to get better, please.

You said it yourself: No one can do everything on their own.

Remember when you took me to to the opera? That man was dying.

But he lifted his head As if he were more alive than ever.

You also need to lift your head again, please.

If so, that's what I mean.

That way you can breathe easier.

That was a very long time ago.

That must be hard for a child, not crying at the death of his father.

The fact that you don't show emotions....

doesn't mean you don't have them.

Tell me about your brother, and your fight over your father's car.

How do you know that? - Perhaps from a biography of yours.

It was war.

World War I.

Cars were confiscated for the defense of the country.

Etc. what are you doing?

I'm building a race car.

There is no need for that one to go to the front.

You should have asked mother and me should have asked first.

Just restore everything, exactly as it was before.

Or I'll bash your head in. I swear I really will.

Got it?

Why didn't you want to say goodbye? - I don't like to say goodbye.

Are you still mad about that car? - First father, now you.

Everything he does is good. - He was afraid, he goes to the front.

At least he stays out of danger.

It becomes an ambulance, to save people.

And who will save me?

What do you mean?

Don't stare at me like that.

I'm not going to the front.

I don't give a shit.

So, dear friend, I will not stay another day in this hell.

Take care, kid.

What are you doing here?

Your brother. He's here, too.

He is dying.

Hurry up, he wants to see you. - No mom, he can't.

In my opinion, yes. Because if you don't. I'll break your other arm too.

Faster, faster, I have to go faster.

Alfredo, calm down. Take it easy. I'm with you.

We drive off together, you and I. We go together.

The soapbox.

Where is the soapbox ?

You were right.

You were faster than me.

I told them. I fell, Dad.

It wasn't because of Etc... - Calm down, Alfredo. Quiet.

You have to get better.

As soon as you're better, we'll race again.

No, now. It has to be right now.

I'm only safe If I can go harder. Please.

We're going harder.

Much harder.

Come with me.

Here we go.

We're going even harder.

Harder.

Much harder.

Did you see that?

We went even harder.

We won. You have nothing to be afraid of.

You are safe.

Mommy, open the door.

Open up. It's me.

First, go look for work. - But I already have work.

I won my first race.

Almost then.

Real work. - I'm going to look for that.

Now please open up. I'll go look for work.

Good morning.

Sorry to keep you waiting. - No point.

You applied, but unfortunately Fiat has no place work for you.

We have recently laid off hundreds of employees.

Then you need me all the more.

You do have self-confidence, don't you?

But we are just a small company.

Believe me, you must try somewhere else.

Try for a moment with me. Give me a chance.

I work hard. And I'm a born driver.

I like to believe that, but we don't not even a race team.

Exactly, I can set that up just for you.

I fear that this conversation can go can lead nowhere.

It was my pleasure.

Tell me, what was your name? - Ferrari.

Etc. Ferrari.

Remember that name well. - I will.

Nothing I hate more As the cold.

I promised myself that I would never again spend a night in the cold.

Did you go home after that ? - No, I stayed in Turin.

I had a friend living there.

A good friend.

Beppe Sicci.

We often sat together in the café. Then we would talk about cars.

And women, I think.

Of course you talk about women.

Without women the engines don't even start.

In that café, you certainly certainly met Laura as well.

Exactly, that's where it happened.

It's cold.

I'm terribly sorry. I had not seen you.

I'm so sorry, I'm sorry. - It's okay.

Here you have a cloth.

I'm so sorry, it was stupid of me.

No, it doesn't matter.

I just don't like chocolate milk. - I'm sorry.

How can I ever make up for it?

We can come up with something on that. - What exactly did you have in mind ?

A good deed. An appointment you with an invalid.

Let me introduce myself. I am Enz...

Etc. Ferrari.

You say it as if you were famous. - Soon you will be.

Well then, Mr. Ferrari.

May I know your name too ?

I'm Laura. Laura Garello.

Beautiful. Laura and Etc. what a great team.

Could I have your address ?

I will think about it.

See this? Cars were always the great passion.

But not anymore.

Turn around. Turn around.

She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.

As she stood there In her purple dress.

Red Purple.

You would have given anything to have her.

Everything.

Good evening, I come to see Mr. Garello.

Good evening. These are for you, ma'am.

Thank you. - You're welcome.

Who are you? - Etc. Ferrari.

Laura has already told me about you. What do you want?

I want to date your daughter.

I have come to ask your permission.

My daughter is already dating, with a suitable partner.

Let Laura choose. - It can't hurt, can it?

Shut up, I didn't ask you anything.

Don't insist. I didn't raised for someone like you.

Someone with no money, no future. - Without a future, you say?

This is my future.

I never lose a challenge. Remember that well.

Because soon I shall be rich and famous.

And whether you like it or not, next time I'll just take Laura with me.

See? I did it.

I convinced him completely.

You can't hold him off. He's faster.

Let him pass.

This is not a car, it is a coffee pot.

And that coffee pot is now overheating.

Those are details, Beppe.

If I don't win races, I can never marry Laura.

Stop, a pipe has burst.

Can't you hear me? Stop, I said. The engine might catch fire.

That's not water.

Etc. that's really gross of you.

Sorry, but you will also pee in your pants.

Because we don't stop before the finish line.

That is very indecent.

Stop, Etc. Stop.

I can see it myself.

Come, help me.

I don't get off.

Why not?

Did you hear that? - Hear what?

Look, look there.

What's the problem? They're just wolves.

They seem rather hungry to me.

What are you up to?

No reason to be afraid.

Come on, let's go.

Even the trees are against us.

When we got to the finish line, everyone had gone home.

But then followed a winning streak.

And those wins earned me a lot.

And this is our bedroom.

So, Mrs. Ferrari, what do you think?

Do you like it? - It's great.

But isn't there something missing ?

A month later, we were married.

My mother used to say.

That no one could could cause disasters as I did.

So now you were a driver.

You raced with Alfa, the super team. Ascari, Campari, Wagner and you.

And you win. First in Mugello and then the Baracca trophy.

Are we going to play it that way? We can.

We are in the lead.

My son Francesco had this on his plane.

Put it on your car. It will bring you luck.

I don't deserve that. Your son was a real hero.

So are you, in your own way.

Please take it.

It's wrong. When I accelerate, it loses power.

Scoot over, kid. - I had to drop this off. It's urgent.

Do you hear it too? - It's not properly tuned.

Where are you going?

We have a race tomorrow.

Do you know what this is?

It is an anonymous bill.

It says you have a lover.

I know exactly what it says.

I wrote it myself. - Did you?

Are you out of your mind?

Why would you do such a thing?

To remind you That I am here.

What did you want to remind me of?

Sometimes I think You've forgotten what love is.

What a marriage is.

What it means To share a life.

And a house. And your dreams.

Sometimes I feel like a widow.

And I deserve better.

You pulled me off the racetrack for this?

Where are you going? - I have to race tomorrow.

Racing is my life And I will never give it up.

Don't you dare.

Don't you dare leave me like this.

Easy now, easy.

Who's that? He's already a lap ahead.

That's Tazio Nuvolari. - The motorcyclist ?

Exactly.

He's skidding, but he keeps his foot on the gas.

He does not lose speed in the turns, but rather accelerates.

Unbelievable. - I have never seen anything like it.

He slips.

Etc. Ferrari. - Nuvolari. How are you?

Nice to have met you.

Before...

What for?

Before you drive yourself to pieces.

If you keep racing like this.

your days are numbered.

You know, dear friend, that applies to all of us.

We'll see who wins.

Whoever is dead first, you mean.

That's where you end up before I do.

Anyway, wait three days with the funeral.

You never know. Maybe I won't show up.

We'll see.

We'll see.

What are you up to now?

I'm going to ride like Nuvolari.

That will kill you.

I'm serious. - We'll see.

Start the engine.

Damn.

What the hell?

I have a right to happiness And I am going to seek it.

I'm wasting my life here. - You're not going anywhere.

Let go of me. You're hurting me. Let go of me.

I know what happened to you.

You are afraid.

I see it in your eyes.

Stop racing. Stop racing Before it kills you.

If you don't stop, I'll leave you. And then I'll never come back.

I will never race again.

I promise you that.

Don't be foolish, Etc.... Brake off. Slow down.

Great.

That was the last time. After that, I kept my promise.

I stopped racing. Forever.

But I had the hardest race won:

The battle against fear.

What happened?

For me, it was exceptional when I went over the border.

For Nuvolari, it was commonplace.

I had to accept that he was number one and I was number two.

Was that the end of the dream? - No, the beginning.

The dream got bigger. Much bigger.

I wanted to make a car...

Who doesn't lose speed in a turn...

And that flies...

without getting off the ground.

Team Ferrari.

That sounds good, doesn't it?

Sure. It sounds good, but that doesn't make you a team.

We are a team, you and I.

I don't see any mechanics.

You are the chief. Find the best mechanics out there.

We need an office and garages. How do we get money?

Don't worry, that money will come.

Just watch. We'll be in all the newspapers.

As long as it's not in the crime section.

You know?

You are crazy, and I'm crazy for participating.

What do you need for a team ?

A designer? You already have one.

A manufacturer? You already have one.

A financier? - For example.

You already have. - Where?

Here. It's all in my head.

That's my car.

You already have everything.

Thank you, they are beautiful. - My pleasure.

I've been trying for two weeks to get an interview with your husband.

So what do you want from him?

I want to steal him away from Fiat and take him home.

He never leaves here.

Talk to him.

They said you were good.

But they were wrong.

You are a genius. But at Fiat, your talent remains unused.

It is assembly line work. No innovations.

These are great ideas.

Too bad they never be realized.

I offer you the opportunity to realize your dreams.

To build engines that are totally different.

To build new shock absorbers and brakes.

A revolutionary new chassis. New.

Which model are you assuming ?

The P3.

I want to take over the team of Alfa Romeo take over.

You'll never get that. - Why not?

Anyway, I admit that you know how to put it well.

But I cannot promise anything on the basis of blind faith.

Come with me to Milan, Vittorio.

I have to honestly say I just don't know.

Honey?

For heaven's sake, he's right.

A man with your talent is out of place at Fiat.

Try your luck.

And here you won't make any headway.

You're right about that. Why not?

Absolutely.

An ingenious plan.

Alfa is a great company.

You need to sell cars, you don't have time to run a small racing team.

I want to take over your entire sports department take over.

Cars, parts, motorcycles, tires.... Everything.

Do you have the resources for such an investment ?

Frankly, I don't have a lira.

But I have a plan: Your cars will become the fastest in the world.

These are just words. Empty words. You have no concrete resources.

Therefore, we cannot not take seriously.

One moment, please.

I have them, they are raving.

Soon we can sign the contract.

Gentlemen, will you come for a moment?

These are not empty words, but facts.

This is my goal, my greatest ambition, my life's task.

Unfortunately, you need facilities to do so.

I do have one. I have a factory in Modena.

And staff ?

Believe it or not, but I already have mechanics and technicians....

And the best designer out there. - Impossible.

Vittorio Jano is the best and who is staying at Fiat.

We have made him a wonderful offer, but he doesn't want to.

Because you have not offered.

You may not yet understand this...

but dreams are contagious.

May I introduce to you: Vittorio Jano. - Good morning.

I will get the best out of your cars. I will prepare them and I will customize them.

And if my Alphas win, and they certainly will...

everyone comes to you for the fastest cars in the world.

I give you the word of honor Of Enz. Ferrari.

Thank you and goodbye.

Are you okay?

Don't drive so dangerously. - She suddenly ran out into the road.

You should not drive so fast. - I wasn't going fast.

Come along, girls.

Anyway, you need to pay better attention to your children.

Just go. Don't you see how shocked we are?

Onward to that tree.

Photographers, come stand over here. That's a better angle.

All right, gentlemen. Have your flashlights ready.

This is a historic day.

Ladies and gentlemen...

The new P3.

You can see the differences from the P2.

But from now on they will be known as the Alfas of Team Ferrari.

And this becomes our trademark: the prancing horse.

But Ferrari, who is going to drive it? - Don't worry.

Because who do we have here? Campari.

But he is not our only star. Furthermore, we have Varzi, Chiron...

Where does this bastard hang out? - No idea.

Moment. Please be patient, ladies and gentlemen.

There he is, ladies and gentlemen.

Tazio Nuvolari.

Come here, canker. - Sit down.

Bastard, what are you up to?

I want to win.

What if you were to hire me for a whole season?

Glad you asked.

Good evening.

I have come to apologize.

And I wanted to ask If you would like to go out with me sometime.

As usual, you are going too fast again.

Does that mean yes, or no ?

That depends on where you want to go.

You can say it.

I still have to get ready.

Feel free to take your time.

Here we are.

These are my sisters.

I'm not going anywhere without them.

We already had plans, but we would like to ride along.

Elda. - Pleasant.

Flora. - How do you do? I'm Olga.

Pleasant.

He is a fascinating man.

But isn't he too old for you ?

Father was twenty years older than mom.

What kind of work does he do? - He was a race car driver.

Now he has his own team.

Cars ? Teams? What is that work?

I have no idea.

But I do know that I like him.

A little false ... - It was fun.

Whether you can sing or not.

A wonderful evening. - Thanks to you.

We really enjoyed it. - All of them.

Good night.

I'll be right there.

I'm sorry. Next time we'll go in pairs.

It was a wonderful evening.

Even though Flora has stepped stepped on my toes.

Anyway.

On the contrary, I must apologize. - Why?

Because.

I have a confession to make.

But where to start ?

Tell.

I am married.

It's already late. I have to go inside.

Thank you for the evening out.

There is food in the kitchen.

Eat something for a while, it will perk you up.

How did it go today?

What is it?

You don't treat your wife that way, do you?

Coming home so late And then not saying anything.

I have nothing to say. - Don't you have anything to say to me?

Then what am I still doing here?

Why do I wait all day until you come home?

I'm going to bed.

He has been bringing flowers every day.

It is a persistent one, though.

We would go out. See how you're sitting there.

Go on your own. I don't feel like it.

I've had enough. - Is that a threat?

Etc. PLEASE.

I want my husband back.

If you are not happy...

then I'm sorry, but I can't help it.

This is nothing, we have to start over.

Turn it off. - No, let it run.

We have four more days.

It can't go on like this. Look at you. You've been cranky for days.

What is it? - None of your business.

Of course.

To work. We need to adjust that linkage.

May I have the key?

Nothing wrong, just give him some space.

Are you okay again?

He has to go outside.

I'm going home. - I'll go with you.

I'm okay. - Are you sure?

Yeah, you guys just work through it.

Sorry to bother you so late.

What is it?

What happened? - I had to talk to you.

At four in the morning ?

I have to tell you something.

I had an accident.

I thought I was dying.

Enter.

Girls.

Caution. - What happened?

We should just go. Come.

Come on, do we really have to. - We have to leave them alone.

He is so much fun.

I have to go. I've been enough of a burden already.

Don't you want a doctor?

If the doctor knows, all of Modena "knows," and you don't deserve that.

I don't care what they say. Let them babble.

Etc. I believe I may be...

This is what you have to put up with.

That's all I can give you for now.

It already means a lot, Lina.

It already means so much.

So much.

That's all very nice.

Especially the way you turned that situation with Lina into a fairy tale.

That's how I might like to remember.

Anyway, it's you, of course to do a good story.

You bet.

Let me see what you have written down so much.

I didn't write down a word.

Do you think I am crazy?

I have an ironclad memory.

It is already late. I am tired.

Of course. But I have another question.

Which reads ?

What part did Laura play in this fairy tale ?

Did you realize what the consequences of that night could be ?

What do you mean by that?

That in that one hour Your wife bound herself to you forever.

But she also gave me the most beautiful that the world has to offer.

Dino.

Are you uncomfortable with this ?

Why?

Just like that. You must have been an exemplary father.

How did she tell you?

What is it?

May I have your attention for a moment?

I drink to women.

Why not? Where would we be without women?

They provide our short existence with danger and beauty.

And they provide us with tortellini.

Would you like a sip of wine?

Listen for a moment. I need to tell you something.

For the thread with it.

Not here.

Not here? - No, not here.

What is so important?

I went to the doctor.

I am pregnant.

You know, this is not a good time to bring a child into the world.

There is no money. - But it's about a child.

You did it on purpose, didn't you?

Do you think a child solves everything?

Indeed, I did it on purpose.

Go tell that to your girlfriend.

You must have thought I didn't know.

When Laura told me, I immediately thought of you.

I wanted to have a child, but with you.

I'm sorry, Lina.

I don't want you to suffer because of me.

Who knows, maybe we'll a child together someday.

You are still young.

Get away from me while you still can.

I don't want to.

This is not just a romantic adventure.

I don't have the right To destroy your life.

I ask you one more time. Leave me. You have to leave me.

I don't have the courage to leave you.

Get away from me.

Here is your little son.

He is so small.

Soon I will hurt him. - Just talk to him.

Look, Dino.

Another lap and Tazio Nuvolari is in the lead with his Alfa.

He is lightning fast.

Then comes Von Hauschmann.

Then the two other Alfa P3s for third place.

The leaders are now a full lap ahead of the rest of the field.

Just give the baby to me. - I'm doing just fine.

That noise is already deafening me. And he gets nauseous from that gasoline fumes.

He better get used to it, because he'll smell that all his life.

There they are. Nuvolari and Von Hauschmann.

And on the last straight it's Nuvolari. Von Hauschmann falls back.

He's going to win. Come on, put it on.

Nuvolari wins the race, less than a second ahead of the Mercedes.

A great race by the Italian.

Congratulations. - You are good.

But I'm glad you lost. - That's how life is.

You know what I think? You could win all the races in the world...

But when you hold your little son....

you understand that's the most beautiful thing that can happen to you.

You are even lying to yourself.

The most beautiful, the most precious ...

But with that child she had you bound to her forever.

Dino was just a pawn.

How dare you talk about my son that way?

Get out of my office. Get out. Get out.

You should see a doctor sometime. You are really crazy.

Dad?

What are you doing? Have you been sitting here all night?

You must take good care of yourself. Come home with me.

What time is it? - It's been midnight.

Come with me.

Where is he now? - Where is who?

That journalist, that arrogant bastard. I had promised him an interview.

I don't know what possessed me.

Hold on.

That's his name.

Find out who he is.

I want all the facts. Everything.

Come with me.

Put on your coat, it's chilly.

Lina.

I had a kid visit me today, supposedly a journalist.

I don't trust him.

You have had a lousy day.

You are not a journalist.

I once inquired and no one knows you.

I was freelancing, but now that you've stuff, I'm unemployed.

Do you want money?

I knew it, you're a common blackmailer.

I am not for sale. And it's not about money now, either.

Then why are you here ?

Don't you know that yet?

You are not a journalist.

You are not a blackmailer.

Then who are you? Tell me the truth. Who are you?

I trusted you.

What are you doing here? - Well then, I made a mistake.

I could only come in here as a journalist come in.

What for?

Honestly, I want to be a racing driver.

This is about me. Stories About my victories in kart racing.

Unbelievable.

So you're sitting here hearing me out....

to show me your silly victories on the go-kart circuit.

Now I want to become a real racing driver. - Buy a car and go racing.

Everyone wants to be to be a hero.

I am not so different from you, when you were just starting out.

You also twisted the truth To get what you wanted.

You took a dim view of morality.

That is a lie. - You did business with the Nazis.

I supported the partisans. - In '43 you moved to Maranello.

A dangerous game. By day collaborator, partisan by night.

I gave them money and weapons.

But I had to act or else the Nazis would have destroyed my factory.

I had to support sixty families.

Commendatore, the Germans are coming.

Oscar, Gianni, get those crates. Let's go.

Beppe, put the drawings away.

Under the hatch.

I do talk to those bastards.

Keep calm.

You there. Traitor.

You make weapons for the partisans.

No, what weapons?

I make valves after German patents.

Listen, speak the truth. You're not fooling me.

Do you remember me?

Do you remember me?

Von Hauschmann ?

Number 26.

The Mercedes.

The circuit of Reims.

You won, I was second.

What is this? Is this your revenge?

No Ferrari, I always wanted to race in your cars one day.

So I'll make sure nothing happens to you.

Lay low for a while. It's getting dangerous.

I can't keep you alive like this.

I told you. Stay out of it. - Laura, please.

No, I won't shut up.

You think only of yourself. And now you flee like a criminal.

It's only for a few days, until things calm down.

Where are you going? - It's better if you don't know.

I do know where you're going.

Stop talking about it.

Dino, darling. Will you say hello to Daddy?

Enough.

Don't be afraid.

When are you coming back? - As soon as possible.

And then we are together again.

Always together.

Don't be afraid.

Are you alone?

They all went to my aunt.

Are you not afraid?

Not now that you're here. - But I can't stay.

Here you are safe. They won't find you here.

There are spies everywhere.

I don't want to get you in trouble. - Don't leave.

I shouldn't have come. - Stay tonight.

Boss, look what they did.

Come all here for a moment.

This is a drawing of our new model.

We call it the Ferrari 125.

Okay, men...

Let's clean up the mess.

Soon the allies will be here and we can make cars again.

You know, Beppe?

Maybe they'll catch us.

We are still alive.

How are you doing? Any progress?

He is almost finished.

Start it once.

Just take it apart again. - But tomorrow it should be finished.

That seems impossible to me at the moment. - It has never been easy.

Tomorrow the journalists are coming. I promised them a prototype.

I'm sorry, but we have to postpone it.

The car should be ready tomorrow morning.

If necessary, we'll work all night. - You just don't want to understand, do you?

We need at least 24 hours. - We don't have 24 hours, dammit.

What is it? What's wrong with you? Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Yes, it didn't amount to anything.

Listen.

If you don't want me to have a heart attack you have to help me.

Because if we can't can't get this car running...

we may have to may have to close down.

Hoist it up.

So that's how you made cars. On the backs of others.

With trickery and deceit.

For anything worthwhile, you have to abuse human nature.

But why am I telling you this? You're just a brat.

We are cut from the same cloth.

It's funny, though. I'm really curious about your life.

Because you were always an inspiration to me.

Just as you were to your children. - Children are vulnerable creatures.

Especially children of men like me.

Come on, Lina. Push.

He's coming, I can feel it.

Come and see your little son.

What is it?

You haven't said anything since City Hall. - What am I supposed to say?

He doesn't have a father. - I had to, I had no choice.

I would like to tell everyone That he is yours.

But you can't, according to the law.

A law prohibiting me from acknowledging my own child is unjust.

As long as you and I know that Piero is our child. That's what matters.

It's about love, not a piece of paper.

Close the door, it's cold.

Are you satisfied? - How dare you still come here?

Get out. Right now.

I'm leaving you and I'm taking Dino with me.

None of that. You're welcome to leave, but Dino stays with me.

You don't have the right.

I'm going to tell them everything. I'm going to nail you to the pillory.

Stop it, Mom, please.

I can't stand it anymore.

See what you have done.

Why did you just run away?

Mom says you have another.

And also that you have another little son.

That's not true.

Look at me.

I never lie to you.

Do you believe me?

Then why are you and Mom always fighting?

I promise you...

I promise you that we won't do that again.

Don't be afraid.

Come on, we're going home.

I can't. My legs hurt. - Come, lean on me.

You're just tired.

Here is your battery.

Damn, the suspension is broken.

Put in a new spring.

Forget it, Tazio. Get out, it's over.

You only say that because you want your own guy to win.

Don't worry about me. You think I'm getting too old for this....

but I still have it.

I'm going to win this race.

I feel it.

Well then.

Dino. Come here.

You drive yourself nuts to win, but be smarter than that German.

Why?

Listen. After a few miles off the road and hide.

If he falls for it, he'll think you're way ahead.

Then he blows up his engine to overtake you.

Then we nailed him beautifully.

You hear that?

You can learn something from this. Geniuses understand each other.

I'll see you at the finish line.

If you win, you race for my team next year.

You never change either, bastard.

Was he really going to win ? - Count on it.

You bet.

Come here. See that? We'll find out what's broken.

Don't touch it.

Are you in pain? - Let him.

It's no big deal. It doesn't matter. You just stumbled.

Stand up again.

Stand up.

You're right, I stumbled. And now I stand up again, all alone.

Good.

You can do it, all by yourself.

See? I did it.

Get back to work.

Do you feel anything?

Nothing?

Sit here. You may put your shoes back on.

Could you come here for a moment?

Sit down.

And, doctor? - I don't know either.

Walking is becoming increasingly harder and that is not a good sign.

We need to examine him further. Neurological examination, x-ray...

Everything possible, for a proper diagnosis.

Will it be all right?

Of course it does.

I promise you that.

What is going on?

Smoke is coming out of Ascari's engine.

Our final time ? - Four seconds behind the Mercedes.

An eternity.

Come on, hurry up.

What is it? - The engine failed.

It's a leak. The head gasket is cracked.

That was a long time ago. Tell my friend My friend that he won't beat me.

This time I win and you come in last.

That's how life is. - Exactly, that's how life is.

Guys, I'm proud of you. Load everything up, we're going home.

Do you want to give up? - No, Mr. Ferrari.

You also need to know When you have lost.

Forget it. - Wait, commendatore.

Now I disagree with you. - Losing to the Krauts ? Never.

Give us a few hours, and the engine will be like new again.

All right then. But then you guys work all night long.

This is nothing new.

Take the engine apart. We need to squeeze more out of it.

I already have some ideas. Come, push it to the pits.

I have the vague impression That you have conned us again.

Come on, get to work.

What are we waiting for?

It is almost midnight.

Come, let's open the presents.

This is... Yes, this one is for you.

Merry Christmas, Dad.

This is for you. Merry Christmas. - You didn't have to.

Are you all right? - I'm fine, Dad.

We are with you, honey.

You should go to sleep. It's already late.

We'll unwrap the presents tomorrow, okay? Come on.

Don't be afraid. - It will be all right.

Honey, Mommy is staying with you tonight.

Dad, I'm sorry. - It's okay.

You're just tired.

Go to sleep.

Don't leave. Please. Not tonight.

Where should I go?

I'm there when you need me. All you have to do is call.

Don't be afraid.

Merry Christmas.

I'll be right back.

The eternal liar.

You said you wouldn't go.

But you can't be enough with her.

Where?

What happened? - He suddenly turned pale and fainted.

Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.

Did you forget your medication? - No.

And your exercises? - I did those.

You're just tired.

But things are already improving. I can see that.

I have given you enough time.

Things are getting worse.

If you cannot cure him, say so then. Then I will go somewhere else.

Commendatore, perhaps I haven't not properly explained how serious it is.

Your son has a condition that affects muscle tissue.

The name of the disease is muscular dystrophy.

So it already has a name. Now we need a medicine.

Of course, we must have that.

But we still know very little about this disease...

and at the moment there is no drug yet.

I wish I could give you some hope.

What are you talking about? You are a doctor, not a priest.

This is about my son.

You are crazy.

Crazy. - I understand that this is difficult news.

But as his father, you must know the truth know the truth. His condition is worsening.

The disease knows no mercy. It will get worse and worse.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Do you clearly understand what we are saying ?

Do you understand?

I'm going to the best specialists. I'm going to win this battle.

It's my fault.

I have done far too little done for him.

I wasn't there when he needed me most.

And now...

I will be punished for that.

What do you mean? Are you blaming Piero and me now?

You are out of it. It's my fault.

You won't see me for a while.

Just tell Piero how it is. He's a smart guy.

He understands.

I need to focus on Dino now.

He needs me.

Just do what you have to do.

We will manage.

Piero and I will wait for you.

So, Dr. Ferrari. Are you ready?

Now you may look.

Fantastic.

Thank them. They worked hard worked hard to get it done on time.

You can operate everything by hand.

Thanks, guys. He's gorgeous.

What are you waiting for? Go for a ride. Come on.

Dad, I can't. - Of course you can. Go ahead.

Good.

Are you okay?

Are you riding with us?

You can do best on your own. Go ahead.

Dino was a special boy.

But the disease was eating away at him , day after day.

I tried to spend as much time as possible to spend with him.

We visited his favorite spots.

I don't know. A bar in Modena.

Or the rocks of San Marino.

That was a great time.

Come on.

The last straight.

We're going to win. Dad, we're going to win.

Dad, we're going to win.

Come on.

We did it. We won. Won, Dad.

What is it?

Aren't you happy? - Of course I am.

But if I could choose...

I know, Dad.

I know. But try not not to think about it right now.

Now let's just enjoy the victory.

I can't do anything about it.

I promised I would make you better make you better, but I couldn't.

That victory was not attainable.

Most important.

Will you ever be able to forgive me? - Stop it.

That's just the way it is.

Neither you nor I can do anything about that.

That's not true.

Maybe I can do one more thing.

Faster, Dad. Come on.

More, Daddy. Faster, faster, faster.

I'm sorry.

But I can't.

I tried.

But I don't have the courage for it.

I'm not mad at you Because you couldn't make me better.

But I do because of the lies You told me.

The pain I feel now...

is nothing compared to the pain you have caused me...

On that Christmas Eve.

You had promised That you would stay home.

I pretended to be asleep.

I waited until sunrise.

I was hoping I wouldn't hear your car....

When you went to them.

But I did hear him. I heard him.

I hated you.

I hated you so much.

Forgive me. - You must forgive me precisely.

Forgive me, Dino.

Help me, Daddy.

Help me. I don't want to die With this anger inside me.

Please, Daddy.

Can I ask you one thing?

Please, just this once...

Please tell me the truth.

Do you love us As you do them?

I love you, Dino.

I love you more than anyone else.

More than I have ever Loved anyone.

I don't want to say goodbye.

Stay with me.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

Dino is dead

You see what I paid for my success?

Do you believe in fate?

Fate is just an excuse.

That's not true.

There are things that even the strongest will cannot overcome.

It is a wound...

Who will never heal.

A few years ago his grave was vandalized.

His bones lay scattered here and there.

As if my son's death in itself....

hadn't hurt enough yet.

Who had done it?

I never knew that.

Some bastard like you.

Calm down, I am holding you.

You wanted to be a racing driver, right?

Come with me.

Did I startle you?

You showed me you can drive. Come to my office tomorrow.

Do you want a contract?

Agreed. - A contract ?

It sounded almost convincing, the way you said it.

If I had really wanted to be a racing driver, I might have said yes.

How dare you play with me like that?

If you touch me again, I will forget that you are an old man.

I may be an old man, but who are you?

Do you remember Marco Giugni? Your best test driver of all time.

You offered him another place in the team offered.

But he died too young to seize it, or to know his son.

Do you remember him, Mr. Ferrari?

All right, let me see what this car can do.

Now you know how it happened. It was just fate.

I'm sure. You just wanted a more powerful engine...

and didn't think for a moment about safety.

The experts thought otherwise.

What about the others ? Ascari, Castellotti, Collins... All dead.

Okay, I understand already.

It was always because of the driver , or his girlfriend, but never the car.

I don't regret anything.

Did you say the same to the judges, after the 1957 disaster?

They gave you ample time to set up your defense.

If I am correct, that process took four years.

One accident killed 12 people.

How do you respond to the rumors that there was something wrong with the brakes ?

As you say, they are rumors, and they don't interest me.

The car had been inspected.

I have nothing further to say.

As you know, a judicial investigation is underway.

Gentlemen, calm down.

Nutti, of the Kathollek Daily News.

I have to say that I know nothing about cars.

Then what are you doing here?

I wonder how you, with all those deaths on your conscience...

can still sleep at night.

You have no idea how I sleep.

Commendatore, 't Vatican newspaper, the Servatore Romano...

calls you 'a new Saturn devouring its own children.'

What do you think of that?

I think everyone should be allowed to write what he wants.

I have a clear conscience.

Anyway, if it's someone's fault is, the judges will determine that.

But you don't have the right, none of you...

To play judge here.

You should not condemn us, but answer.

We have a right to answers.

Answers? What answers ?

You have condemned me anyway, gentlemen.

This press conference has ended. - You are a monster.

Absolutely. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Come on, let's go.

They call me a monster.

If that were really true, you would never have stayed with me.

Maybe I am a masochist.

Thank you, gentlemen.

You don't think I'm a monster, do you? - You are not exactly a saint.

Right.

I have been on trial before, but have always been found innocent.

Completely exonerated.

And inside? Did you exonerate yourself too ?

Where are you going?

Come back.

Hello Piero, with me.

You have to do something for me.

It involves a test driver, Marco Giugni. He had a son.

I want to know as much as possible about him.

What are you doing here?

I was waiting for you.

How did you know I would drive by here?

I know a lot about you.

For example, that you need me right now need.

Needed? Don't be silly. I've never needed anyone.

That is a bold statement. I write that one down.

Are you writing again now?

Can I get in?

Would you please reaffirm that ?

'Never needed anyone.' Including family members, right ?

Like your son Piero.

I heard... - I love Piero.

Just as I loved Dino.

Are you serious?

I took care of him.

I gave him a future. I gave him my name.

Let's see.

Very good, Piero.

File off another half millimeter. See?

How is he doing?

Getting better and better. He is fast and motivated.

Always looking for new technical solutions.

Like we used to.

And he is very polite. Everybody likes him.

Then you have to fire him.

Why?

He has to go to school. He has to not become a simpleton like you and me.

He should become an engineer.

How am I supposed to tell him that? A simpleton like me.

You will find a technical solution, as always.

Piero is not a machine.

He is a human being.

Technically, that is.

Let me look again.

Look over there. See that motorboat?

He is elegant, fast, aggressive ...

but he will never be as powerful as that ship.

We are like that motorboat.

Beautiful, fast and small. Very small.

If we want to survive.

we need to become more like that ship.

Large and impressive.

What are you up to?

Our way of building cars is outdated.

We need to change things.

Otherwise, we disappear.

Could we perhaps have some light be allowed? I can't see a hand in front of my eyes.

I was hoping that Mr. Ford would would pay the bill.

But now that you mention it... There be light.

That's not nothing.

I feel like a kid in a toy store.

This is our Julia. - Pleased to meet you, Wilmer Paradise.

This is our latest prototype.

What a picture.

And this is the Super American. Take a look.

And this is the Superfast.

I have always been a fan of your cars been. Glad to meet you now.

Would you like a drink? - Why not? Right, boys?

On Ford, on Ferrari... - And to our deal.

May I introduce my son? Piero. - How are you? Fine. How are you?

That's a nice guy. - Thank you.

So, Mr. Paradise, now you have seen everything.

The factory, the assembly hall, the new models...

Certainly, and I must say that we are speechless.

I hope you can still talk about a deal.

That is what we are here for.

Frankly, Ford very much wants to to conquer the sports car market.

It seems logical that our companies should join hands

To make the prototype for the European market.

Mr. Paradise, overall the whole idea certainly appeals to us.

Nice.

But I want one thing to be very clear from the beginning.

I will never never relinquish it.

Not to Ford or anyone else.

Other than that, anything can be talked about.

I understand completely. Totally.

They said you were sitting here. What are you doing here, by yourself like this.

I say goodbye to my cars. - I can do just fine without women...

but never without the sound of your engines.

I have to say say goodbye to them.

I don't understand.

Do you want to leave me?

It's not about what I want.

They diagnosed diagnosed in me.

That is now curable.

You have to get better.

I need you.

Money plays no role, I pay for everything.

But you can't leave me, not like this.

Believe me, I didn't get sick to get out of my contract.

Listen, just concentrate on that deal with Ford.

You have to be careful, though. If that deal doesn't go through...

you lose a lot more than just me.

A word about my problem.

I will fight it, in my own way.

I'm sorry, Mr. Paradise.

Your lawyers have certainly made a mistake.

We hadn't agreed on this. - What do you mean?

Didn't you guys read not read the fine print?

It seemed good enough to us. - I'm not signing.

I don't understand. - I don't draw.

I've been clear from the beginning about the sports department.

And no one wants to take that away from you.

But above a certain amount permission from Detroit is always required.

That is simply our company's policy.

How much can I spend without asking permission first ?

You can spend up to $100000 spent on what you want.

$100,000.

What can I do with $100,000?

If you ask me, $100,000 is a lot of money.

Do you know how much I spent last year ?

Five times as much.

I'm sorry, gentlemen, but I'm not the man you're looking for.

Wait a minute, not so fast.

I don't know about you, but I've always been a free man.

I never depended on anyone and I wanted to keep it that way.

I will never be an employee...

of the Ford car plant.

You are making a huge mistake.

Work.

Work is something I give people.

Not something I'm looking for.

We are ready.

Enter.

How did it go?

Worthless.

Right.

I have more bad news.

This morning...

Vittorio Jano committed suicide.

I'll wait for you outside.

Vittorio Jano is dead.

All start the engines.

If Vittorio hears that...

is he...

not so lonely.

The deal with Ford has fallen apart.

They wanted to play the boss in our house and I could never allow that.

Men, hard times await us.

Competition is getting stronger.

Anyone who wants to step up...

may go.

I will not stop anyone.

Our only goal...

is to make Ferrari even stronger.

And I know that we can achieve that together.

Ten years later I sold the company to Fiat...

without sacrificing sacrificing.

I don't understand.

Mr. Agnelli invited us, and yet here you are eating a sandwich.

This is where it all started, on this bench.

It was just colder.

Let me tell you something.

With the head of Fiat a handshake was enough.

I have a free hand in the sports car department.

And you will be on the advisory board of the new Ferrari.

Go ahead, eat your sandwich.

Back in the kingdom.

Why with all your success never left Maranello ?

Perhaps because of this.

If I go somewhere else.

I blend into the crowd.

But here I am Enz. Ferrari.

And does that offer you enough comfort ?

Life doesn't get easier with age.

Even a solitary man like you doesn't want to be left alone.

No one wants that. - You'd rather kick them out yourself.

Come to think of it, we lost track of someone.

Laura. Despite everything you never really left her.

Don't leave.

Finally, then, I go to see Dino.

Tell him I miss him.

What about me? Will you miss me too?

What are you doing?

Poor woman.

She saw her happiness. It was up for grabs.

But she could never reach it.

So, how did it go from there?

So you have caught up with us.

What do you want from me? - Is Lauda really quitting the team?

He doesn't like the food in Maranello not good.

Lauda has won a lot for us.

But even without a world champion Ferrari will continue to win.

I have found a talented young Canadian found.

His name is Gilles Villeneuve.

Gilles Villeneuve will be the new star.

No more questions.

Kid, shouldn't you eat something?

You need to gain a little weight. You're thin as a rail.

Then I fit better in the car.

No, I really don't, I can't say dad anymore.

It's delicious, but it's a little too... - Excessive.

He likes it, but he's about to have a test run.

And Gilles doesn't like to ride with a full stomach.

Piero, call Lauda. Tell him we want him back.

At least he's drinking. - Excuse me, I don't feel well.

Don't be so difficult. Is he supposed to die? - Tortellini won't kill you.

If he's that weak on the track too, we have a problem.

What was his lap time? - 1 minute 12.

Add a second, as usual. Then it stays sharp.

Just do it.

The Ferrari breaks down, apparently with a flat tire.

Villeneuve's pursuit of the win again became fatal to him.

No, he drives on, on three tires.

He was always a go-getter, from his first race.

Sheckter has already dropped out. Another disappointment for Ferrari.

Villeneuve drove a rock-solid race. After ten laps, he was in the lead.

After winning, he had been in the race for the title.

See that? Sixteen full-time mechanics, hard at work.

Do you know how much time and money it takes, a new body, chassis...

shock absorbers, brakes or cylinder heads ?

Your wages are a pittance, compared to the cost of repairs.

How should I put it, Gilles? Look at that damage.

You're not racing in a bumper car.

From now on, leave my cars in one piece.

You're making me sick to my stomach.

I want you to win. Is that clear?

Totally. If I don't win on Sunday, I'll quit of my own accord.

We'll see.

That's the way to do it, Gilles, right.

Don't let him past, watch out.

You can drive that car to pieces. Come on.

He succeeded.

Who's that? - You.

Wonderful.

It had been years since I had seen such a race.

His style reminded me of Nuvolari.

Like Nuvolari Gilles did not know his limits.

That frightened me.

Gilles, don't encourage him now. One driver in the family is enough.

Stay put. You want to take a look, too? Come on.

You see all that?

Jacques, let your sister also.

No, I want another minute. - All right, one more minute.

What's this? - You can't touch that now.

Good morning, Jeanne. How are you? - Fine.

Jacques, what do you think of that car? - Great.

How is the new engine ? - Very good.

Must see.

You have a wonderful family.

Two delightful children.

But if you keep racing like this....

Excuse me, but I don't understand what you mean.

Aren't you pleased with my performance? Is that what you mean?

Are you okay?

Everything okay?

Your family is very important.

Very important.

Absolutely. It's the only thing that's as important to me as racing.

And that's the way it should be.

But you know what they say about champions.

There is a new one every Sunday.

Go back to them.

Gilles Villeneuve was how I had once been.

So young and full of life, full of hope.

It was a message from the past.

But then even that last light went out.

On the final collision, he flew an endless moment into the air.

Like a little bird With a broken wing.

Once again, you lost a son.

You must think That your life is cursed.

I don't believe in curses. I am not superstitious.

They were real people.

I knew them and I loved them, and now they're dead. They're all dead.

I know that all too well. The dead are dead, indeed.

I didn't mean to come across as blunt. I'm just very curious.

I didn't kill them.

It was their own choice. - Of course. They knew the danger.

As you said, it was not your fault.

Dad, I knew you were in there. - I was just about to go home.

Listen, I have news about Giugni's son. He did indeed have a son.

But that one has been dead for five years.

Daddy, are you okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.

Thanks for the information.

Well, where were we?

Who are you? - And what are we doing here?

All those big questions. - Stop playing these games.

Does this maybe help?

You remember this thing, don't you?

What do you want? - I want you to be honest for a moment.

Lay off that mask. Let go of the myth for a moment.

I want to hear it from your mouth.

A question. I want an answer to that, and then I go again.

If you had known what you know now....

All those people who died....

and all the suffering you have caused the people around you have caused....

would you do it like that again ?

Answer that. Not for me, but for yourself.

There is no triumph or glory in all the world

which is worth more

then a little bit...

skin of a human being.

What else?

If I could to life...

everyone who is dead now...

Then I would.

I would give anything for it.

That's what I wanted to hear from you.

That was it.

I have to go.

Glad you were here tonight.

But before you go...

I would like to know...

Who you really are.

Just a kid who emerged from the fog.

Did you love us as much as you did them?

Now I'm the one bowing my head.

I think we will soon will be together again.

I never talk to journalists. They only write lies about me.

I am flattered that you are making an exception.

If she looks back...

She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.

As she stood there In her purple dress.

Red Purple.

How did you know I would drive by here? - I know a lot about you.

Poor woman.

She saw her happiness. It was up for grabs.

But she could never reach it.

That's his name.

Find out who he is.

Turn around.

Harder, harder.

for my father and my brother Dino Piero Ferrari
