Before the 2011 British GP at Silverstone, Fernando Alonso got to drive Bernie Ecclestone own Ferrari 375 F1. It was in this same car that José Froilán "Cabezón" Gonzáles won the 1951 British GP amongst the corn fields of Silverstone.
We are surprised nobody complained Alonso got an unfair advantage getting extra laps behind that glorious 4500cc Lampredi V12 hehe, I'm sure someone has. :). Nando's first lap is for waving but then he takes another extra lap for a little vintage style 4 wheel drifts...nice!
Froilan Gonzalez, now 89 years old, watch the tribute from an tv studio in his country. He was invited to the studio not knowing about the tribute, he immediately burst into tears. Luca Di Montzemolo called him and they spoke live on the tv show.
