escuderia


Explanation:
Please do not translate this.
In Formula One circles everyone knows the name of the Ferrari team is called the 'Escuderia'. It is accepted terminology, adopted from the Italian language.

Did anyone say Hamilton? YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  -> Yes, we all know it's a 'TEAM", of course, but in Formula One the Ferrari Team is simply referred to as the 'Escuderia'. In English this is considered rather classy. Best Wishes.
