WINDING ROAD columnist Karl Ludvigsen is the mind behind a fascinating and lovely new volume from publisher Haynes chronicling the epic duels between Ferrari and Maserati, entitled Red-Hot Rivals.

Focusing on the competition between the two storied automakers during the period of 1947 to 1967, Ludvigsen takes readers “into the boardrooms and secret racing workshops of both marques.” Enzo Ferrari and the Maserati brothers, along with racing drivers and scores of motorsport luminaries, are followed through one of racing’s most brilliantly contested eras.

One could see a Mas as an Aston-Martin with Mediterranean flair–and that’s no insult.

[…] The Ferraris of both Raikkonen and teammate Felipe Massa were well ahead for the first half of the race, when Massa inexplicably spun into the gravel on turn eight of lap thirty. Massa’s spin gave a big helping hand to BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica, who managed his first podium finish since Monza in 2006 by taking second place. […]
