“We are delighted to have Singapore Airlines partner us once more as Title Sponsor for the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. The partnershi­p over the last four years has been a key component in the success of the night race.

entreprene­ur and GT driver. The two ferrariste revealed their passion for cars from a women's perspectiv­e, now less unusual, recounting fragments of their life expressive of pure driving pleasure, adrenaline packed challenges with other drivers.

As a testimony of the unbroken link between women and the Prancing Horse, the exhibition "Il Rosso & il Rosa" has gathered some of the cars most loved by unforgetta­ble ladies. This enthusiasm first took off in the 1950s when Ferrari became a glamorous icon inseparabl­y paired with the stars of cinema, Anna Magnani and the 1951 Ferrari 212 Inter, also chosen by Ingrid Bergman, Hollywood actress Norma Shearer and the 1956 250 GT Berlinetta "Tdf". The sixties include for example the 250 GTO of 1962, a favourite of French rally driver Annie de Montaigu, and the 250 LM of 1963, chosen by American actress Jayne Mansfield. Then of course there are the cars of the special guests of the event, the Ferrari 458 Italia of Amy Macdonald and the Ferrari 458 Italia GT3 and Ferrari 488 Challenge track models of Deborah Mayer.

The ‘Il Rosso & il Rosa’ exhibition will run throughout 2018 at the Enzo Ferrari Museum in Modena, open every day from 9:30am to 6pm.
