"It was a liberation for me, too. Too much time had passed since my victory, now has more than an era. The Trento-Bondone 1970 's remember above all the crowd, a sea of people. In my day there was more battle, remember that the first ten were encased in a matter of seconds. Anyway going strong is always difficult, in every age. Change the machines but you must still take them to the finish line and try to make the most of their potential. After the ' 70, I risked twice more to win: when he stopped the car, another true contempt I, when I was 15 seconds ahead halfway through the race. I'm happy for Blackbirds and I enjoyed the show. The urge to drive there would still be ".
