THE creator of the world’s most desired sports cars was a daring racer who lived his life on the edge – in the bedroom and the boardroom. Now the story of how Enzo Ferrari pushed himself, his loved ones and his drivers to their limits is being told in a new biopic starring Adam Driver and ­Penelope Cruz. The tale of how Enzo, the son of a metal shop owner, survived World War One and built the first Ferrari after his factory was flattened during the Second World War would be enough for one movie in itself. In 1957, with his company on the verge of going bust, Enzo bet that he could win the 1,000-mile Mille Miglia road race through Italy. She was, though, only one of many women in Enzo’s colourful life.
