The Ferrari Shield that all fans know and have seen many times on TV or live has been stolen. It happened on Monday afternoon in Imola: he has traveled all over the world, he was even in Australia and in Grenoble with Michael Schumacher. The appeal of the Caprino Club of Bergamasco: “We will do it again, but this was steeped in history and signed by many drivers, including the great Schumi”
GP MONACO, THE LIVE DRIVERS CONFERENCE
Let’s all find the mythical together “Ferrari Shield” to be able to see it again on the slopes all over the world. The flag, one of the symbols of support for Cavallino, was stolen on Monday, after the Imola match. “With great pain – he says the Club Caprino of Bergamasco in a note – we must communicate that the famous ‘Shield’ at the time of retirement after the GP he was never found again“. The banner, known to all F1 fans, he toured the world and he even visited Michael Schumacher in Australia and Grenoble in the days immediately following the Meribel accident. The appeal of the Caprino Club: “We will do it again, but this was steeped in history and signed by many drivers, including the great Schumi”. The hope, however, is that this piece of history of the Rossa can be returned to the owners, also because ultimately it belongs to all Cavallino fans.
“He was present at the Tosa in Imola at least until 12pm on Monday”
“After the great availability of the staff at theEnzo and Dino Ferrari racetrackin the persons of the Director Dr. Pietro Benvenuti and Stefano Mongardi, after having been exposed since Thursday 16 May to the curve of Tosa next to the one dedicated to Ayrton Senna in an area closed to the public, it was present until around 12pm on Monday; in the evening in agreement with the President of a local club for the retreat, he tells me of the disappearance of our beloved flag“, the statement continues.
“A symbol of Ferrari history”
“The Ferrari Shield – continues the Caprino Club – we created it with the approval of President Montezemolo and it cost us economic sacrifices, but it nevertheless rewarded us with a thousand satisfactions at every exhibition. Present in Grenoble to encourage Michael and by himself autographed, present for the farewell to the presidency of Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, always present at every important event and always racing under the podium in Monza, Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Mugello, etc. It bears the signature and autograph of many drivers as Raikkonen, Alonso, Massa and Leclerc. So the intrinsic value of the object comes into the background, the value that we care most about is the emotional importance that dwells in the hearts of over a thousand club members and fans. We reassure all fans that there will certainly be a rerun soon at the cost of further sacrifices.”
Let’s find the Red Shield again!
The Caprino Club guarantees a “large tip” to anyone who provides concrete evidence for the recovery of the Shield. Beyond this, the hope is that that symbol be returned and can soon return to circuits around the world.
