Scuderia Benedetti competes in Formula A as the Ferrari factory team, officially branding themselves as Scuderia Benedetti-Ferrari. Benedetti has been the Ferrari factory team since 1984, when they bought the controlling share of Ferrari's Formula A operations following financial difficulties within the Ferrari brand. The Benedetti family maintains an equal ownership stake in the Ferrari brand, and the Ferrari family owns a 20% stake in both the Formula A and (as of 1996) the World Stock Car Championship operations of Scuderia Benedetti.
