VATICAN CITY, Monday (Reuters) Pope John Paul got a Ferrari from the Italian racing team on Monday - a model of one, that is - for having what they said was the inside track on the roads of humanity.

Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher and the rest of the Ferrari team met the Pope in the Vatican's frescoed Clementina Hall to give him the 1:5 scale model of the car that won Ferrari both the championship and constructor title in 2004.

Ferrari President Luca Cordero di Montezemolo told the Pope the drivers, mechanics and management wanted to honour him. He said his courage and defence of human rights had put him "for the past 26 years in the pole position of the roads of humanity".

Pole position refers to the most favourable position at the start of a race.
