    Nope, as there is no Minardi F1

    Besides no Minardi, the word "tifosi" simply means "fan", without specifically meaning Ferrari.

    From tifo, Italian for typhoid, alluding to the fever of fandom.

    Not just Italy, basically next door to Ferrari. It's something in that Po water.

    Actually, these guys sponsored me for bike racing when I renewed my racing license in a moment of weakness last year (then work got nutty and I never hit a starting line). When I was actually racing bikes for a living, I was sponsored by Bolle but since all of my old contacts at Bolle left, I figured that I would switch brands and I really liked these Tifosi glasses. In all honesty, they're great. I have 4 pairs that I can't live without.
