Did anyone notice that the red-headed lady (Testa Rosa I guess) that gave Alonso his first place trophy at Monza was named Michela Vittoria Brambilla? (She is a tourism director) I think there was a F1 driver back in either the 70's or 80's named Vittorio Brambilla. He may have even been a Ferrari F1 driver.

Related? Who knows? Brambilla may be a common name in Italy.

Thanks for ruining my race.

Yes that was a spoiler with no alert.

She is the minister of tourism or to be more accurate under secretary for tourism. Needless to say she was picked by Berlusconi. (if her very long legs had anything to do with it I don't know.)
Her father is rich and a steel manufacturer and not the Grand Prix driver Vittorio Brambilla.

Vittorio Brambilla's nick name was Monza Gorilla.
After winning his only Grand Prix victory Brambilla lift his hands in the air and immediately slammed into the barriers. He completed the winning lap with the car destoyed.

I turned the Tivo off just after Massa got his trophy. When I went back to it this afternoon, I noticed that the announcers discussed the possibility that they were related, and they didn't know. Should have watched the broadcast a little longer this morning.. Sorry Ron, I should have mentioned that the results of the race were inside my thread.

Back from a long-weekend at Sebring, good thing I can go to bed early since now I can clear the DVR for the F! race I recorded to watch tonight.

Next time give a spoiler alert.

You could at least edit you dang post and remove the spoiler rather than letter the rest of us click it and ruin the result
