We are used to judging cars from the point of view of technology or design, but often the history of the automotive industry is written not by engineers and designers, but by managers. Among the cohort of iconic managers who influenced the entire course of automotive history, the place of honor is occupied by the Lido Anthony Iacocca, nicknamed Lee From 1946 to 1978, he worked at Ford, rising from a simple engineer to president of the corporation. After being fired (not without scandalous circumstances), Lee continued his career as the head of Chrysler, which was then on the verge of bankruptcy It is difficult to overestimate the achievements of Mr. Iacocchi in both companies: it was during the years of his reign that the Ford Mustang appeared, and thanks to him, Chrysler got out of debt. The managerial talents of this manager have made him one of the world's top celebrities in the business world. His autobiographical works have become the reference books of entrepreneurs and top managers all over the world.

The 2024 Formula 1 season has come to an end - according to its results, Max Verstappen became a four—time world champion, and the McLaren team took the constructors' Cup for the first time since 1998. And if Verstappen de facto got the championship title in Las Vegas (in that race, Max secured an unattainable margin in terms of points by the end of the year), then the struggle between McLaren and Ferrari in the team standings lasted literally until the last race.

The Rolls-Royce brand was created thanks to an exceptionally successful business alliance. Rolls and G. Royce. The first was an aristocrat from a wealthy family, and the second was initially practically a poor man with one class of education. Together, these people managed to create a car that eventually became a real symbol of success. The tandem of Rolls and Royce is an example of an effective partnership between a talented inventor and an equally talented investor.

In 1996, Schumacher, who won two titles in a row, outgrew Benetton and went to rescue the team from Maranello. Negotiations between the German pilot and Ferrari began in 1995 as part of a restructuring initiated by Jean Todt: The Reds needed a pilot who would become the leader of the team for many years to come – Schumacher was ideally suited for this role. As for Michael, Ferrari also represented a very promising story for him. This seems to be a controversial statement, since by 1995 the German had already won one title with Benetton and was confidently moving towards the second, while Scuderia at best claimed to be the third force of the peleton, and in general was in the stage of a protracted crisis. However, Michael, as an astute person, was well aware that Benetton's championship ambitions were a temporary phenomenon, while Ferrari, although not in the best condition at that time, still had sufficient resources to return to Olympus soon.

The 25-year-old Schumacher, having won 8 Grands Prix during the season (actually 9) and scored 92 points (in reality 108), became one of the youngest Formula 1 world champions, as well as the first German champion, which generated unprecedented interest in his person not only in his homeland, but also all over the world. The racer, whose last name few people could pronounce without mistakes a couple of years ago, has a lot of fans and even fans around the world. What happened next is history. 7 titles, 91 wins and the title of one of the most talented and titled athletes in the world. But he won his very first championship with blood, sweat, lawsuits, intrigues, the experience of tragedies and trimmings — everything that was characteristic of this difficult time.

This is the Ford Dagenham factory, opened in 1931 in Dagenham, United Kingdom. They began planning the construction back in the 20s of the last century, because a large plant needed wholesale supplies of equipment, as well as coal and steel... since the plant planned its own steel mill. Therefore, the main thing for this plant was good access to water. The construction of the plant lasted 28 months, 22,000 concrete piles were killed... and the first car to come off the assembly line was a Ford-AA van. Throughout its history, the plant has produced 10,980,368 cars and 39 million engines.
