All Too Well - A timeline of love
October 22, 2012 - Taylor releases All Too Well as track 5 on Red. Instantly the song becomes a fan favorite
2013, the whole year - The general public decides Taylor is annoying and they hate her. We don’t. All Too Well becomes a song we use to retort bullshit claims that she doesn’t feel these emotions or she’s not a good songwriter. It’s our clear fan favorite.
March 13, 2013 - June 12, 2014 - The Red tour. Taylor cries while performing All Too Well. We scream the words louder than any of the other songs. Literally - I was there and for those of y’all who weren’t… Please understand the power in the room during the bridge of All Too Well was stronger than any other moment in the show. We screamed. Like it was our lifeblood.
January 26, 2014 - Taylor performs All Too Well at the Grammys citing us wanting it as the reason
October 22, 2016 - Taylor plays a set at the Formula 1 Race - her only concert of 2016. When she sits down at the piano, fans chant “All Too Well! All Too Well! All Too Well!” This is a very low point in Taylor’s career - it’s a chant that doesn’t just say “We want to hear All Too Well” but also “We support you in what you’re going through.”
February 4, 2017 - Taylor performs and exclusive concert for fans on the day before the Superbowl. At this show, she sits down at the piano and mentions that the F1 chanting touched her, so she plays All Too Well
May 8 - November 21, 2018 - The reputation tour. Taylor plays All Too Well as the acoustic “surprise” song more than any other song, making it the “official” song on the setlist for that slot. Before she plays it, she gives a speech about how All Too Well used to be a sad song of heartbreak, but has become a song of love and connection between her and the fans.
October 16, 2019 - Taylor performs a concert as a part of NPR’s Tiny Desk series and she ends her set list with All Too Well. Before she plays All Too Well, she talks about Red’s association with Autumn and how All Too Well symbolizes a relationship between her and the fans citing that when she released Red, she thought that no one would like it as much as her but we made it live a life she never thought it could have.
November 12, 2021 - Taylor released All Too Well 10 Minute Version on Red (Taylor’s Version) because fans asked for it for the entire 9 years we had the 5 minute version. She emphasizes this in release week through a short film, multiple versions, and a performance on SNL.
November 21, 2021 - Billboard announces that All Too Well (Taylor’s Version) has reached #1 on the Hot 100 singles chart, mostly due to streams of the 10 minute version.
The stakes are high, the water’s rough... But this song is ours.

Crazy Theory of the Day: Year Frozen Happens
(this edit was done by me in paint, I had nothing to do on the day and as I don't know how to use photoshop I created it in paint)
First of all I must say that I haven't read “Frozen 2: Dangerous Secret” so if you have any information in that book related to the post that contradicts something here, sorry.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The first information on the subject comes from the art book of "Frozen 1" where it says that the original idea was for the film to take place in the 1700s, but it was changed to the 1840s.
The second relevant piece of information without falling into the scope of crazy speculation is the map. In "Frozen Fever" there is a map with the roman numerals MDCCCXL that means 1840, so that means that the short film that happens a year after F1 happens exactly in 1840 since the maps are used as calendars two hundred years ago and not only has year/decade that were created, right? But in "Frozen 2" there is also a map and that map also has MDCCCXL, but that map Iduna and Agnarr used 3 years before F1 and four years before FF.
"Frozen Fever" map vs "Frozen 2" map. Which two two would you trust? Does the map that appears in an animated short or in the film sequence 100% official? What looks more like an animated graphic just made to illustrate something that was happening or what a map really is? I have my choice.
Another point that still does not reach the pure theories to analyze is the speech said by Agnarr, he comments that he was reading “The Little Mermaid” for Iduna, that book was released in 1837, but when Agnarr reads it he is just over 14 years old then including this account "Frozen 1" would take place in approximately 1871. But this is a reference to the real world and the author of the book so I don't know how relevant it is to take it into account.
Another reference is literally the book “The Snow Queen”. The book was published on December 21, 1844 (in the "Frozen 1" art book erroneously says 1845). December 21st is Elsa's birthday which was inspired by the winter solstice.
Taking into account the date of publication of these two books, there are two theories:
1 - Agnarr read the book of “The Little Mermaid” in 1837 when he was 17 and not 14 years old, because 7 years later he would have been 24 years old, which is the official age that Agnarr was when Elsa was born, placing her exactly on December 21, 1844 which is the launch day for “The Snow Queen”.
2 - The book of "The Little Mermaid" is just an ordinary easter egg that makes reference to something, but it does not make any difference the plot of the film. But Elsa was still born on December 21 as a reference to "The Snow Queen", but in 1823 and the reference to 1844 is F1.
I believe in number 2 more since it would link with the map dates.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A - In what year and month does fog cover the Enchanted Forest: if we take into account that they were trapped there exactly “34 years, 5 months and 23 days” and put it like the month 10 / October in which F2 happens because it is autumn we arrived in the month 4 / April or 5 / May (I believe more in 4). Then the enchanted mist took place in April / May in the spring of 1830 (number 1) or 1813 (number 2).
B - In what year Iduna and Agnarr die: in 1862 or 1841.
C - In what year, month and day does F1 start: in theory 1 the year is 1865, in theory 2 the year is 1844. The film takes place in the summer, I am a fan of the theory that takes place on July 29 making reference to the day of Santo Olaf / Olavo.
D - In which year and month F2 takes place: October 1868 or 1847.
E - In what year and month "Frozen 3" will happen: the franchise according to my theories has already attended spring, summer and autumn, the winter that takes place between the 12th and 3rd months in the northern hemisphere is missing, choose the month. The year ... the franchise likes the number 3 and Anna I believe she will be pregnant with 24 making reference to Agnarr, but I don't know if an F3 can happen in the same year or not, as I don't believe that Disney will show Anna pregnant (at most a post-credit scene of a short) so I think in 1872 or 1851.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Although these theories make some sense and again follow some patterns, it is much more likely that Jennifer Lee never thought about the exact year that the films happen and these little clues that I have gathered here are just a bunch of things played just for the purpose of fun and not speculate something. But until we have official information, let's go to the speculations and these are mine.

I don't even know what to say to this sheer garbage excuses.🤦🏻♂️🙄 Why did they even watch F1 and shorts in the first place if they gonna immediately be fine with them being seperated, could be forever for all we know, and then also be completely fine with the directors backtracking and putting "Romantic love" over the sisters love.
It's like another John wick movie comes out and he goes back in time to stop his dog being killed but all of a sudden loves the killers and lets them kill his dog, completly backtracking from the previous film buuuttt because it's a sequel that means its 100 percent right somehow even if retcons everything immensely, please can someone tell me the logic in this way of thinking. 🙄🤔

Can you imagine that F2 is now rated 6.9 on imdb?! And F1 is 7.5! This sequel will never surpass the original. It would be better if no sequel was created at all. I prefer the F short films more, and would you rather have 3 new shorts (completely focused on family traditions/"another calm day in Arendelle") or retconned F2? But sure, they needed more money - who does sequels for the sake of the story and characters? Ofc they are not fans, but..
OFA is my favorite part of the franchising too. Great song, minimal Kristoff, and 100% focused on the sisters and their “normal life”.
I know, it’s not exciting as F2....but at least I don’t have to label half of the franchising as “not canon” to enjoy it. ;) lol

Mercedes enjoy constructive winter but Williams sleep through alarm | Richard Williams
Formula One has come out of hibernation with some teams looking in better shape than others and questions over marketing activities
A few days ago a man called James Allison made Formula One feel like something other than a lost cause. In a short promotional film the technical director of the Mercedes team – the winner of the last five world championships – explained what it takes to create and build a new grand prix car. His enthusiasm dispelled a lot of the scepticism surrounding the sport’s future.
Allison made a compelling argument that F1’s core activity has not really changed over the decades. What his colleagues were doing over the winter as they assembled the new W10, which made its debut in the first day of testing in Barcelona this week in the hands of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, was essentially the same as their earliest predecessors were doing more than 100 years ago.

15th April 2017
I didn’t sleep well, again (shock of the century). The guy from Bristol was snoring. He hasn’t snored before so he must’ve been drunk. I heard him come in around 0130 and Cherry come in around 0200. By 0500, I had to search around for my locker key and then search around for my earplugs in my locker. About about an hour of forcing myself back to sleep, I was out and I was out for good. I didn’t hear Steve’s alarm or him getting out of bed. He woke me up at 0810 to go down for breakfast before he went to work. Dan was working again so he and Megan were meeting us for food. Dan is always late so they got down around 0830. By then, I was almost finished eating and was onto the rubbish coffee. The boys started at 0900 and left the hostel at 0857. Not a bad commute if you ask me.
We sat at breakfast chatting away with Sophie and a new girl called Kat from Croydon. She’s from Croydon originally but she lives in Swindon. My uncle and cousin live in Swindon, they sound like farmers. Sophie and Megan had to do their food shop today so we said we’d all go together to Aldi. We left at 1100 after we were showered and dressed.
We walked the 20 minutes, popping into a juice shop for Sophie to get a large berry-fantansia (drink to make her go through an eye of a needle) and Aussie Disposals for Megan who had to buy Dan a work top. We went into Aldi and the food shop was done within an hour or so. We got the tram back to the hostel because nobody wanted to relieve the ‘carrying the shopping bags and trousers falling to the ground’ issue again.
Shopping done, food put away - time for lunch! Megan and I made bacon, onion, pepper and cheese omelettes. For the first time ever, my omelette actually came out like an omelette. Not scrambled egg. I flipped it and it went like a pancake. I was so excited. Megan said it was perfect so I’ll take that. We sat with Sophie who had melted cheese on toast. A girl came up to us and asked if she could sit with us so of course, we said yes. This is the greatest part of travelling, you meet people so easily. Maxine (max) was from the Netherlands and she shared her breakfast with us. She was having a slice of bread, with crunchy peanut butter and chocolate sprinkles. The chocolate sprinkles are a Dutch delicacy apparently but it was so good. The box wasn’t in English so I couldn’t read anything. They just look like your average hundreds and thousands you put on your 99 flake ice cream. It worked so well together.
Sophie, Megan, Max and I left for a wonder. We wanted to do a bit of window shopping. Megan didn’t own anything long sleeved and Sophie needed tights. We walked around going into pointless shops wishing we had money (like I do at home too). Megan got a $10 jumper in H&M which she was happy about. Sophie also managed to find jeans that fit her. She’s all leg, Soph. She’s so tall and she’s got quite wide hips like me. I’ve never seen anyone so happy to find jeans that fit on the first 'try-on’. She even told the guy behind the cashier. She told him it’s gold.
We then went on into Zara pretending to have money and then onto Target. I bought Steve an Easter bunny chocolate thing. It was quite big and full of smarties. I bought one for Mel too in hope to cheer her up a little bit. Megan and Sophie bought one too so we planned to go back to the hostel and drink tea whilst eating them. What a plan.
We walked back, popping into more shops here and there. By 1530, we were back in the warm. You know it’s cold in Australia when the hostel advertises extra blankets to keep warm. Might try and turn it into a coat… We had 2 cups of tea and ate some Easter chocolate. The chocolate was worse than a Poundland own… Better than nothing and better than spending $20 on a Cadbury egg that doesn’t taste like Cadbury at all.
Whilst Mel was out, I got a room key off her roommate and snuck into her room. I left her chocolate bunny on her pillow with a note saying that I hoped she feel better soon. Luckily I did it when I did, she walked into the kitchen 5 minutes after. We all sat around chatting for the next hour or so.
At 1700, we went into the TV room. Flinders has quite a big TV room. There’s 3 massive levels with about 8 beanbags on each and its pitch black. The TV is your average sized British flatscreen and they have a book full of films that you can pick. It’s usually full up and you just have to watch whatever is on at the time. When we walked in, a film I had never seen was on. It had Bradley Cooper in so I didn’t mind. At Mad Monkey, they had a similar room but it had Netflix. Flinders do movie marathon nights in and give free popcorn too so that’s nice. We’ve never gone down to watch a film yet though. I’m waiting for a Harry Potter marathon.
Steve and Dan walked in after finishing work. They’ve done such long hours and their body aches so much all for less than minimum wage, over bank holiday too. I feel so bad for them. It’s money though and it’s better than nothing. Steve will have enough for 2 more weeks accommodation. My face completely lights up when he gets in from work. I get my best friend back.
Steve was so dusty and dirty, when he took his glasses off, there was a distinct outline of them. I laughed so much. He looked like a right tramp, with his ripped shorts on his bum cheek. Can’t afford to buy new ones and I haven’t found anyone with a sewing kit yet. He’s alright though, it’s not like he doesn’t wear boxers.
We all chilled for a bit before going down to make dinner. Megan and I weren’t all that hungry but the boys were starving. Dan mentioned to me yesterday that he was going to go Nando’s for his lunch break today. I asked Steve in the room what he had but he had said nothing. I slyly said how was the Nando’s and he started laughing. That man cannot lie for anything. I catch him out on everything! I want to tell Megan but I don’t want to start an argument. Megan and Dan have $200 to last them through. I’ll leave it although it would be funny.
We went down for dinner and we all had tuna pasta. Pretty basic but cost effective - 70c each. Not bad eh? Al-di Al-di Al-di. We sat with Kat and the rest of our group. Max cooked too much of her dinner and let Steve and I try it. She had pasta with pesto, cream, onion, bacon and avocado. I really didn’t like it but Steve loved it. He had the whole lot. We’ve not properly tried avocado before but it’s so fatty. Good fats but any fat is a danger zone for me. Steve then couldn’t eat all of his own dinner but Cherry finished it off, of course. She’s Nunu from Teletubbies. A hoover.
Megan, Kat and I decided to go to the comedy festival at 2115. There’s a massive festival going on at the moment in Melbourne - it’s everywhere. A lot of people are here purely for the festival. I’m funny with comedy, I like your basic Lee Evans and Michael McIntyre. We went upstairs to get ready and planned to leave by 2045. Obviously that didn’t happen, we left at 2055. We jumped on the tram and headed the 15 stops to Richmond. It’s only one stop on the train and takes roughly 1 minute normally but trams stop at every single street. Quite annoying actually.
We got to the little bar/pub it was being held in. It was called Station 52 - looked like your average old style pub with rubbish curtains and carpet that couldn’t be more opposites in pattern. Pool table dotted right in the middle of the room and 50+ year olds on the bar with no teeth. I loved it - $6 pints. Kat was the only one to order though.
We sat in a small room with about 15 rows of chairs listening to Australian men try to be funny. We didn’t laugh. We listened to the first guy until 2200 and then listen to the second until 2230. They make a lot of jokes about Donald Trump, Rolf Harris and Hitler. I didn't find them funny.
We left and made our way back. It was less than 10 degrees outside and I still didn’t own a coat. Patience Charlie, patience. My mum told me to just buy any jacket so that I’m warm but it’s a good $100 for a decent one. I’m not spending that, not without a job.
Steve and Dan were in the casino sports bar waiting for the F1 and football. Dan supports Crystal Palace and they were playing. We decided to meet them there and have one pint. The cheapest being $7.50 for XXXX pronounced 4X. Kat asked for it as “triple X plus 1” and I couldn’t stop laughing. Steve and Dan had a friend called Bill but I hadn’t a clue where he was from. He had a massive accumulator on where he was a few teams away from winning $13,000. He was so entertaining. Kat’s friend Jeffery joined us half way through too. He’s from Belgium, speaks French but learning English. Bill asked him “what part of France are you from?” And he replied “Belgium”. Bill was like 'whaaaaat?!’. It was so funny. We were all laughing for ages.
The football carried on for what seemed to be hours. It isn’t even race day either for the F1. It was 0200 and I wasn’t even sleep depriving myself for something important. We left around 0230 and I was in bed by 0300. I asked reception for another blanket so I’m snug as a bug. Not getting up for breakfast. Tomorrow = lay in day!

Interview to Novikov by BrendanEvans
Somebodystopme (Damon Michael Novikov) Rating: 4979.415 World Position: 6th Nation Position: 1st 1x F1 WDC, 2x Indy DC, 1x F2 World DC, 1 Trophy of Champions and has finished top of standings in Nation Cup. Races: 3865 Wins: 1888 Race per win: 2.047 Track Records: 571 Hi, first of all and I'm sure you've heard it many times before but Congratulations on taking the MRC F1 drivers title in Season 18. Your driver first entered F1 in Season 16 and you wasted no time establishing him as one of the best in the business. Many people would know of you but few would not much about you. So, if you’ve got the time I’d like to ask you a few questions about yourself as a manager and your driver? Q) Your first two seasons in F1 included 6 wins, 18 podiums and almost 500 points. Can you tell us about your first two seasons in F1 and two Indy titles, and how much of a jump was it technically after spending two seasons dominating the Indy Series? A) I want to begin from the end... Yes, those two seasons in Indy were outstanding, but I was inside, and I know why they were so successful. My first season in Indy was at the age of 24, but my driver was already very strong, strong enough to win the title. His skills were not the best in the series, but there were no other top managers, so I expected easy title, I just had to be stable, and I did it. Second season was a bit harder, because there were more experienced challengers, but I was stronger too. What could be better than win to consecutive titles at the age of 24 and 25... F1 was coming... I had lots of proposals of different teams, the best was from Mercedes. Grandi was completely sure that new car would be competitive and I started to help Mercedes, but Grandi and Mercedes were ignored by community those days, and FBednar sent me a message with the question "Why?". From my side, I asked him about seat in Jordan. This was for luck, I didn't expect they say yes. Then I had a big choice: Mercedes or Jordan. Jordan's car was already good enough, but I promised to drive for Mercedes, but finally I had chosen Jordan and that was the 2nd big luck for me, because Grandi forgot to sign suppliers, and Mercedes was in the bottom of the grid. Jordan had only 3rd best car, behind RB and McLaren, I was very excited about the start of my career in F1, but I knew, that it would be unreal to win the championship. I'd got great communications in my team, and I finished 3rd in my first and 2nd seasons in F1, between McLarens and RB's. That was success, because I had made some stupid mistakes in some races, anyway, I couldn't be better, than 3rd. Technically... It was easy for me, because I was prepared, I'd got setups from different cars and managers, and I'm always analysing previous races, that helps a lot, plus my rain skill was better and that was one of my benefits. But was dreaming about 18th season, because rules were completely changed. ... Q) As we mentioned earlier, in Season 18 you finished with 5 wins, 13 podiums, 17 top-10 finishes, 5 poles, 2 fastest laps and took the title by 34 points which is especially impressive considering Monaco, Montreal and Circuit of the Americas you walked away with 0 points. To begin, how well do you remember the season, and talk us through when you started to believe you would take the title. A) First five races were good, and I'd got victory in China, but after Monaco and Montreal I was thinking that title was gone. In Montreal, as far as I remember, there was my mistake, my setup wasn't saved somehow. I decided to drive from one race two another, and what a miracle, my 2nd part of the season was perfect and awful for opponents. I tried to be conservative, to avoid risks. I counted races until the end of championship, my teammates and compatriots were ready to yell about my coming title, but I said - that is too early, no words until the title. I'd got 18 points ahead of Grosjean before the last race, so he had to win, and, in that case, I should had finished 6th to take the title. And after the collision between Grosjean and Rapido, I believed that I could win the title. I won, having only the 3rd best car in the championship, that was unbelievable! There were other reasons, I had better adaptations for the new rules, and luck, luck, luck. Q) Lesser known facts about yourself, you're a team owner at Audi, a driver for Jordan, and have made driver donations to more than half of the mid field teams in recent years. What motivates you to support so many teams in an area of MRC that is dominated by politics? A) Well, at the very beginning I was the major creator and team manager of BMW, but after the short period of time I understood, that this work is not so interesting for me, and I left managing of the team, I was only shareholder and consultant. I started to work with our national team for A1, and you know the results of my work: this season is my 10th season as president of association, we won 5 titles in a row, and we were on the podium each season... I was needed the best possible team for my driver, because I was wanted to become F1 champion. I'd done that with my Jordan family. They received my full support. Our Russian community was growing, there were a lot of perfect drivers, and we decided, that we need the second team in F1. Firstly, we were in negotiations with Grandi's Mercedes, but the price was too high. We wanted to be middle team, something like BMW, and we started to buy Senna's shares. Nothing personal, we thought it was the easiest team to buy. There was no other way besides the auction. We knew, it would be a long journey. Then we saw 41% Williams shares on the auction and that was our chance, I calculated everything, besides holes in the rules. Than there was a proposal of buying Audi, and finally we did it. Since that, I'm helping Audi too. As for other teams, I have a lot of free money, and I'm happy to help smaller teams to make our championship more competitive and interesting. Next season I will drive for McLaren and they will be having all my support. My seasons with Jordan were absolutely perfect, thanks to Midar, FBednar and for all Czech community. But I think, I deserved to be a bit higher -)) Q) Your driver was created in a golden age were many went on to finish their driver skills at an age well before the drivers began to lose skills. I've not been here long, but have already read many times in the forums that such feats may not be possible these days. Do you believe these rumours, and when it's time to say goodbye to Novikov will you be having another crack and do you think you can achieve the same successes with a new driver? A) -)) Actually, I was the first, who wrote that. Yes, that is true, but situation has changed a bit. I think, that my next "Novikov" would be a least not worse than present. Firstly, yes, my(his) career was outstanding, there were almost no mistakes during my career, but I know that mistakes and I could avoid them with my new driver. Secondly, now I know a bit more, than 15 seasons ago. And thirdly, when I wrote that it would be hard to achieve the same results the game was growing, I mean number of managers and skilled managers. There are lots of skilled managers still, but, as I see, the number of managers is not growing anymore. It would be very hard to achieve same titles, for example, to win F2 World at the age of 23 and Indy at 24, but it would be possible to have all skills 100 at the same time, or earlier. Q) You said yourself, this won’t be your first interview and won’t be your last. If you had to interview yourself, what would be one question you would ask yourself? Is there a story to tell that no-one has touched on yet? A) Wow, lots of questions! -)) Private, for example, favourite colour, film, serial, sport, singer, actor, etc... For now, I ask the simple question. “What is the most difficult thing in MRC?” The most difficult thing is to stay calmness. I mean, that we have our own mistakes, and we have random mistakes. This is very hard psychologically, a lot of players couldn't do anything with it. What helps me? Firstly, I have already achieved all that I wanted a very long time ago. Secondly, I'm always trying to explain every mistake to myself, and if I couldn't do that, I'm getting upset. On the other hand, for example, you may have bad race today, but in an hour, or tomorrow you will have another race, good race, there are a lot of races and that helps a lot too. Thanks man, awesome answers. Appreciate you taking the time with detailed answers :) Just out of interest, what is your fav colour? ;) Red -))

Ferrari and Claude Lelouch spreads optimism in “Le Grand Rendez-Vous”
Claude Lelouch’s short film starring the Ferrari SF90 Stradale and Charles Leclerc to premiere on 13 June
French director Claude Lelouch shot his short film, “Le Grand Rendez-vous”, in Principality of Monaco at dawn on 24 May, on the very date the Grand Prix was to take place. The French director’s cameras accompanied the Ferrari SF90 Stradale as it completed an adrenaline-fuelled lap of the Formula 1 street circuit. At its wheel was Charles Leclerc who clocked speeds of up to 240 km/h en route to the mystery “big date” of the title.
HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco also made a brief appearance in the film. The luxury car brand’s Chairman John Elkann, the Princes Andrea Casiraghi and Pierre Casiraghi with his wife, Princess Beatrice Borromeo, also visited the set. Thanks to a progressive lifting of the lockdown in France and Monaco, the shoot was also watched by a group of excited onlookers from the balconies and the streets carefully supervised by the local authorities.
Traffic was stopped to allow the Ferrari SF90 Stradale, which can sprint from 0-100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, to unleash its full power on the Principality’s streets. The car’s blistering engine soundtrack broke a long dry spell for Prancing Horse enthusiasts and tifosi alike.
Most importantly of all, however, the roar of its Ferrari hybrid V8, generating a total power of 1,000 CV, sent out a message of optimism and signalled a first step towards the return of motorsport, film and social life as we endeavour to put the pandemic behind us through mutually responsible behaviour, commitment and solidarity.
Ferrari welcomed the partnership in the film as a way of demonstrating support for its tifosi, clients and supporters as an expression of hope that the world will gradually be able to absorb the painful and complex health crisis which has affected everyone, allowing us to begin to look positively towards the future, also in anticipation of the expected restart of the F1 season in July.
In the same spirit, over the past months, Ferrari has continued to demonstrate its commitment to fighting the Covid-19 crisis through concrete support ranging from fundraisers to the distribution of healthcare equipment to hospitals, to the production of respiratory conversion valves at the Maranello factory, to the most recent expression of transfer technology represented in the design of a new pulmonary ventilator, FI5, offered in open source production at a global level.
Ferrari is a multi-time winner of the World Branding Awards. For more information, click here.
