Ernesto: Ciao, Elio! It’s fantastic to catch up with you. F1 fans around the world still talk about your incredible career. How have you been?

Elio de Angelis: Ciao, Ernesto! I’m doing well, grazie. It’s always a pleasure to chat about the golden days of racing. The memories are still as vivid as ever.

Ernesto: Speaking of memories, I have to ask—what’s your favorite moment from your time in Formula 1?

Elio de Angelis: Ah, that’s a tough one! There were so many great moments. But if I have to pick one, it would be the 1982 Austrian Grand Prix. Winning that race for Lotus was absolutely unforgettable. The atmosphere, the competition—everything just clicked that day.

Ernesto: That was an iconic victory for sure! I think fans also remember your skill in developing cars. How did you approach working with engineers on the technical side of things?

Elio de Angelis: Good question! I’ve always believed that communication between a driver and the engineers is crucial. I tried to provide as much detailed feedback as possible. It’s a collaborative effort. We’re all trying to make the car go faster, after all!

Ernesto: Absolutely! You had a unique style of driving that really stood out. Do you think that’s something that can be taught, or is it more instinctual?

Elio de Angelis: I think it’s a bit of both. Training and experience certainly hone your skills, but there’s also a natural element to it. Some drivers have an innate sense of what the car is doing and how to push it to the limit. It’s something that can be fine-tuned, but the raw talent has to be there.

Ernesto: Speaking of raw talent, what are your thoughts on the current F1 scene? Any drivers or teams catching your eye?

Ernesto: They’re definitely keeping the spirit of racing alive. Before we wrap up, do you have any advice for aspiring Formula 1 drivers?

Elio de Angelis: Never lose sight of your passion. F1 is a demanding sport, but if you love what you do, it makes all the difference. Embrace every challenge, keep learning, and most importantly, enjoy the ride.
