Ferrari hail 'legend' Mauro Forghieri after world title-winning designer dies aged 87

Former Ferrari designer and technical director Mauro Forghieri has died at the age of 87.

Forghieri helped Ferrari win four F1 drivers' championships and seven constructors' championship during a 27-year stint with the team. He joined Ferrari straight from university as a trainee, before being appointed technical director by founder Enzo Ferrari.

He held the position until 1984 and famously designed Ferrari's 312T car, which Niki Lauda and Jody Scheckter both won world championships in.
