Scuderia = set of cars (and related organization) of a team.
Derived from the world of racing horses
Thanks . That makes sense now.
In North America Scuderia is often mentioned in relation to Ferrari and said
as a synonym for Ferrari F1 but I knew it applied to other teams or
organizations as well. Now it all makes sense.

Actually, there are still a few "glitches" in this explanation :
this sums it up in a concise manner
http://www.users.qwest.net/~hrellis/Ferrari.htm
"The �prancing horse� was a badge used on the fighter plane of Italy�s
top pilot in the First World War, Francesco Baracca. When he was shot
down in 1918, a piece of the fuselage with this badge was recovered
and sent to his parents, Count Enrico and Countess Paolina Baracca.
In 1923, they witnessed a young Enzo Ferrari win a race at the Savio
circuit in Ravenna. They gave him the honor of using their son�s
prancing horse on his car for good luck. The canary yellow background
was added because it is the color of Modena (Or, a cross azure.) The
shield made its debut on the Alfa Romeo racecars run by Ferrari�s team
in 1932 and the first Ferrari to sport the emblem was in 1947. "
And the Ferrari always has been red because red was the racing colour
for Italy (back in the days before there was sponsorship each country
had their racing colours..). Scuderia literally means "stable" indeed,
but in many languages the terminology of horse racing later found its
way into car racing as well

So what you are saying is that Michael Schumacher is nothing more than a
Stable Boy cleanning (or mucking as they say) the barn for the Prancing
Horses of some bereaved Eliteist family?
