	Auto-Racing @ MieNet: Michele Alboreto
		Alboreto's Audi R8 was going down a straight section of the circuit, when the car suddenly spun off the track, hit a fence and somersaulted several times before finally coming to a halt.
		Alboreto was called to join the Scuderia, because his driving skills appeared outstanding enough to exempt the breach that his Italian presence in a Ferrari cockpit would represent.
		Just a week after Michele Alboreto lost his life on the Lausitzring track, this safe German track was paradoxically the scene of another tragic fatality: on Thursday May 3rd, 2001, a marshal was killed after being hit by a car, during a private test session for a German sportscar race.

	BBC SPORT \| SPORTS TALK \| Pay your tributes to Michele Alboreto
		Michele was and remains my favourite of the all the drivers I have watched over the years and I find his death a tragic loss to the sport.
		Alboreto was a fantastic man, driver and team player, clearly proud to drive for Ferrari and in love with motor racing, That mid-eighties period was traumatic for Ferrari with the loss of Pironi, Villeneuve and Enzo himself, yet Alboreto was the calm, gracious rock which took them through.
		Michele was brilliant in that he kept Alain Prost honest in 1985 with a car that wasn't the greatest - a true racer.

		Alboreto is particularly sensitive when it comes to the atmosphere in endurance racing, especially concerning those close to him.
		Alboreto is a more diverse driver in the old-fashioned sense, more a Jacky Ickx than a James Hunt for instance.
		And finally, Alboreto and Patrese agree on one point: the circuit which is the most rewarding in terms of driving.

	8W - Who? - Michele Alboreto
		The 1982 Las Vegas GP saw young Italian Michele Alboreto welcomed to the Grand Prix winners' circle and since he would repeat the trick at the 1983 Detroit GP, in the process gaining Tyrrell's and Cosworth's last victory, he was a star in the making.
		Michele's Indy career ended after a single year after which his career was spent in sportscars.
		Michele Alboreto, however, the son of a kindergarten teacher, did it in real life by winning the season-ending 1982 Las Vegas Grand Prix, held in the car park of the Caesars Palace hotel, on a track which was monotonous at best and excruciatingly dull at worst.

		Michele was a star when I was a new boy in Formula 1 and he was kind to me. He helped me out because it was in his interest to do so, but also because he was brought up that way.
		It is a sad fact that Michele's career peaked before he was 30.
		Michele bore it well although his sense of humor was somewhat taxed when he suffered some sort of mechanical failure going through Tamburello Corner at Imola (where Ayrton Senna would later die) and hit the wall, emerging with a gashed leg from a huge fiery accident.
