Wheels on ice

1.13.2012
Madonna di Campiglio, 13 January –Under skies lit up by an amazing firework display, the race on the frozen lake brought the week of Wrooom to its usual end on the slopes of Madonna di Campiglio. Tonight in fact, the curtain comes down on the early season meeting which for over twenty years has been held in this resort in the Dolomites, bringing together the Ferrari and Ducati teams and the specialist media from the worlds of Formula 1 and MotoGP. The ice race was certainly spectacular with the drivers and riders from both teams tackling the challenge first in go-karts and then in Fiat 500s. There was a special pace car too, with the Maranello marque’s Vice President, Piero Ferrari, at the wheel of an FF. Coming out on top in the first race was Valentino Rossi, crossing the line ahead of Ferrari’s Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso. Next across the line were Giancarlo Fisichella and Marc Gene, two drivers on the books at Scuderia Ferrari to work on car development. Bringing up the rear was Rossi’s inseparable friend Alessio Salucci, standing in for the indisposed Ducati rider Nicky Hayden and this was the order then used for the grid for the second race. Massa won the battle of the Fiat 500s, pulling off an incredible passing move on Rossi just a few laps from the end. Alonso was again third, with Gene and Fisichella swapping places this time.
