Canon
•
Enzo Ferrari said he would rather lose a race than skip one. His meaning came entirely from the responsibility to compete. The road cars, the money, the fame were all byproducts of the racing obligation.
•
Ferrari's true self was a racing team manager. The car company was a false self imposed by economic necessity. The irony: after his death, the false self (the car brand) became worth $80B+, while the true self (the racing team) became a marketing division.
