Default Fire in the Ferrari factory!

A fire has damaged a part of the Ferrari factory today. A container with different prototypes of formula 1 cars from the production facility caught fire.
They discovered the fire at around 13.00 local time and is under control at the moment.
Luckily nobody got hurt and most of the stuff was already transferred to another part of the new factory, so the damage was only done to some prototypes and materials

if nobody got hurt the prototypes don't matter...Ferrari will construct them again. I hope they could extinguish the fire rapidly

There were rumors that Ron Dennis and Frank
Williams were heard singing Billy Joel's "We didn't
start the fire".

I think that I heard somewheres that in their
early days the whole factory burned right to
the ground.

Wow...I'm sure having all the chemicals for the composite materials laying around didn't help, assuming that's where they're building one off stuff also...

I hear that the fire was set by Mclaren.

I just made that up, and it probably isn't true, but it makes you think. Doesn't it?

But yeah, Ferrari's factory was getting bombed all the time during WWII.
