  Ferrari apprentices go back to the old school 16 Mar 2017 (News)
  Ferrari is to offer its next-generation of apprentices more training on Maranello’s classic models. School-leavers aged 16 to 19 will be given more in-depth training on classic car technology to help ensure they’re well-equipped to help keep the marque’s rich heritage on the road.
