Unlike Pininfarina or Bertone, Giovanni Michelotti remains relatively unknown to the general public. Yet, he was responsible for designing hundreds of cars, including numerous Ferrari, Maserati, BMW, and Triumph models, as well as the Alpine A108, which later evolved into the iconic Berlinette A110. He is regarded as the most prolific automotive designer from the 1950s to the late 1970s. Fiercely independent and committed to creative freedom, he never accepted a permanent position, choosing instead to collaborate directly with manufacturers and major coachbuilders. He is famously credited with the saying: “A camel is a horse designed by a committee of executives.”
Does destiny exist? A vast, almost philosophical question that engineers and Maserati enthusiasts would unhesitatingly answer in the affirmative. Founded in 1914 in Bologna by the Maserati family, the brand went from a simple mechanical workshop working on Isotta-Fraschini to a real competition department in a few years. In 1926, the Type 26 was born, the first homemade creation and the first to feature the Trident inspired by the Neptune Fountain in Bologna.
There is always that little hesitation when preparing for a trip. The desire to take your exceptional car, to enjoy every kilometer, to make the road an integral part of the experience... and, at the same time, the constraints. The logistics, the risks, the uncertainty of arriving serene. Too often, we give up, leaving our car where it is, sheltered but immobile. This is exactly where Carsup is changing the situation. Travelling in your car should never be a cause for concern, but a simple and smooth pleasure.
There have been pivotal years in Formula 1. Seasons where you feel that something is changing, where certainties waver, where engineering is getting the better of habit. 2026 is one of those seasons. Regulations are changing, cars are being transformed, engines are entering a new hybrid era, and even the grid is welcoming new faces. Cadillac is coming. Audi is getting ready. F1 is about to write a chapter where anything is possible again. And that is undoubtedly what enthusiasts were waiting for: a discipline that reinvents its own future.
