==Death== Ferrari died on 14 August 1988 in [[Maranello]] at the age of 90, of [[leukemia]]. Because he was a private person, and because he feared popular protests due to the fact that Ferrari's team had been beaten by [[McLaren]] in every race of the [[1988 Formula One World Championship|1988 season]] so far, Enzo expressed the wish for his death to be reported in the media only on 16 August, the day after his burial (witnessed only by his family) on 15 August. He witnessed the launch of the [[Ferrari F40]] shortly before his death, which was dedicated as a symbol of his achievements. In 2002 Ferrari began production of the [[Ferrari Enzo]], named after its founder.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Ingram |first1=Antony |title=Ferrari Enzo: history, reviews and specs of an icon |url=https://www.evo.co.uk/ferrari/enzo |website=Evo Magazine |publisher=Autovia Ltd |access-date=4 December 2020}}</ref> The [[1988 Italian Grand Prix|Italian Grand Prix]] was held just weeks after Ferrari's death, and the result was a 1–2 finish for Ferrari, with the Austrian [[Gerhard Berger]] leading home Italian and Milan native [[Michele Alboreto]]; it was the only race that [[McLaren]] did not win that season. Since Ferrari's death, the [[Scuderia Ferrari]] team has remained successful. The team won the Constructors' Championship every year from {{F1|1999}} to {{F1|2004}}, and in both {{F1|2007}} and {{F1|2008}}.
