In F1, the Italian team has the unique distinction of owning nearly all significant records (as of the 2007 Brazilian Grand Prix), including:

* Most constructor championships: 15
* Most driver championships: 15
* Most wins (all-time): 202
* Most wins (season): 15 (tied with McLaren)
* Most podiums (all-time): 604
* Most podiums (season): 29

* Highest winning percentage: ~26% (for teams with at least 10 wins)

In 2004, Ferrari also surpassed Ford as the most successful F1 engine manufacturer, with 182 wins (to Ford's 176 wins). Due to the availability of the Cosworth V8 to private teams, a total of 6,639 Ford-powered cars were entered between 1967 and 2004, compared to 1,979 starts for Ferrari and Petronas-badged engines during the same period.
