 | | Italian wheel-making magnate Gabriele Rumi once owned his own F1 team, Fondmetal, but after that his involvement with F1 was through operating a superb half-scale windtunnel at Casumaro, Italy, through his Fondmetal Technologies company. |
 | | Rumi would have loved to attend every Grand Prix, but his business kept him occupied and so he would send along the silver-haired Gianfranco Palazzoli to look after his F1 interests. |
 | | From Milan, Palazzoli has vast racing experience, dating back to the 1950s when he raced off-road motorbikes. |
