		As a chassis constructor Matra won nine Grand Prix all with Ford power and Jackie Stewart, as an engine manufacturer they scored three wins all in a Ligier chassis and with Jacques Laffite in the cockpit, but none with car plus engine made completely by their own.

	gizmag Article: Ducati Rocks Motorcycle Racing
		Whatsmore, the Ducati marque last graced the top step of the GP podium in 1959, and that was in the 125 class in the hands of a promising young lad named Mike Hailwood - a VERY long time ago.
		Ducati 's main Grand Prix success came in the 125 class where they gained four GP wins in the late fifties, and the only time a Ducati rider placed in the ultimate GP class, the 500cc, was in 1972 when Bruno Spaggiari scored third place at Imola.
		So despite optimism from the Ducati camp, there was a great deal of cynicism from most quarters that Ducati could be competitive during its first serious attempt at the premier class in three decades in 2003.
