Maybe Ferrari should throw a little more money at their F1 team and not at some small Spanish mechanic making kit cars in his garage if they're worried about protecting the brand. I really hope he can prove that he didn't affix the labels; I'd love to see Ferrari and Audi (if actually involved with the Lambo side) eat shit on this one. The sad truth is that this poor guy will drown in legal fees even if he wins. edit: to clarify: VW/Audi (owns Lamborghini) wasn't mentioned in the article as being involved with Ferrari's suit, however they mentioned the guy made Lambo replicas as well.

I don't think it's a matter of money at Ferrari not being thrown at their F1 team. It's more a matter of not having Adrian Newey at the dawn of the newest formula of F1 cars (2009). Kimi supposedly got an apology from Montezemolo [0] for the way he was treated/forced out of the team AFTER winning the championship for Ferrari, which I think is one of the biggest signs that they're doing ALL they can to win.

  Not really what I meant, but I certainly agree, although that apology came as a contractual obligation for getting Kimi to sign for 2014. I was more implying that the money spent on the lawsuit would be better spent on the brand itself, whose pedigree is driven almost entirely by racing in F1 and GT. I don't suppose I'd find you poking around /r/formula1?
