Ukukhuluma ngemidlalo yezimoto “kuphoqa” ukuthi umuntu akhulume ngoMaserati kanye noJuan Manuel Fangio, wase-Argentina owabusa ishumi leminyaka lokuqala leFomula 1, ewina umqhudelwano womhlaba izikhathi ezinhlanu, ezimbili zazo ngophawu lwase-Italy. Manje, ukuze kugujwe lokhu okunqobayo okwedlule, i-Maserati isanda kwethula uhlelo olukhethekile lwe-F Tributo.
Ukuqala komkhiqizo weModena emncintiswaneni kwenzeka eminyakeni engama-95 edlule; kwakungomhla zingama-25 kuMbasa, 1926 lapho imoto yomjaho yokuqala eyadlalela i-Trident endaweni yayo, i-Tipo26, yawina ikilasi le-1500cc eTarga Florio, no-Alfieri Maserati esondweni.
Kodwa ngemva kweminyaka engu-28 kuphela, ngoJanuwari 17, 1954, iMaserati yaqala ukuvela kuFormula 1 futhi yangena esicongweni se-World Motorsport nge-250F eyayishayelwa uFangio.
Ukuxhumana nomhlaba wemijaho kanye nesikhathi esidlule esikhazimulayo lapho uFangio ayekhona (futhi namanje ...) umlingiswa oyinhloko, ugqugquzele i-F Tribute Special Edition entsha, eyayinombukiso wokuqala emhlabeni wonke ku-2021 Shanghai Motor Show: I-“F” imele i-Fangio. futhi "I-Tribute" iwukuhlonipha okucacile kokunqoba okwedlule.
Lolu chungechunge olukhethekile luyatholakala ku-Ghibli ne-Levante ngemibala emibili eyingqayizivele - i-Rosso Tributo ne-Azzurro Tributo - futhi inezici ezimbalwa ezikhethekile ezivusa isimilo somkhiqizi we-transalpine.
Izikhombo zesikhathi esidlule ziqala khona kanye ngaphandle nangemibala emibili ekhethiwe. Umbala obomvu uwumbala oyiqiniso kakhulu ku-motorsport yase-Italy, futhi ngokomlando, izimoto zaseMaserati bezilokhu zincintisana nomsebenzi wokupenda kulo mthunzi. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ithoni ye-Azzurro Tributo ikhumbula ukuthi okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngomunye wemibala (kanye nophuzi) weDolobha laseModena, "ikhaya" elingokomlando laseMaserati.
Ngaphezu kwakho konke lokhu, ama-brake caliper aphuzi ayinkomba eqondile ye-Fangio's 250F, eyayinomhlobiso obomvu nokuphuzi. Kodwa ukubukeka kwangaphandle kuphelele kuphela ngamasondo amnyama angu-21” - futhi anomugqa ophuzi - kanye nophawu oluthile olumnyama ngemuva kwamakhothamo esondo angaphambili.
Le mithunzi yengeza umbala ngaphakathi, ngokuthunga okubomvu noma okuphuzi, okuhlanganiswe nesikhumba esimnyama se-Pieno Fiore.
