The Maserati brothers' connection with Motor Racing began even before the creation of the Maserati marque in 1926. From 1914 Alfieri, Bindo, Carlo, Ettore, and Ernesto Maserati built Grand Prix cars for Diatto. The skills of the brothers were not just confined to engineering, as Alfieri Maserati drove the winning Maserati in the 1926 Targa Florio, and artist Mario Maserati created the Trident symbol used on the company badge. In 1937 Maserati was sold to the Orsi family, but 3 Maserati brothers continued to work for the Trident, and contributed to many wins including the 1939 and 1940 Indianapolis 500. After the War, Maserati strengthened its engineering by recruting Alberto Massimo, Guilio Alfieri, and Gioacchino Colombo from rival motor manufacturers as the Maserati brothers left to form O.S.C.A. because their 10-year contract with Orsi family had now ended. Good engineering piloted by the likes of Juan-Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss ensured many wins during the 1950s and early 1960s. Under Ferrari ownership since 1997 the Trident has returned to the track once more..
