Many thanks to Twitter user Michel Bergeron for allowing us to publish in this website his photos of Elio de Angelis taken during the 1983 and 1985 Canadian Grands Prix.
Ute Kittelberger, tedesca, fotomodella e indossatrice, è la ragazza di Elio. L’ha conosciuto ad un party di “Playboy” anni fa e ora lo segue dovunque. Dice: “Non mi piace la F.1, alle partenze sto sempre male…

My sincere thanks to Elio’s big fan Carlo Peruch for kindly send me his personal pictures of Elio de Angelis taken at the Canadian Grand Prix in 1983 and 1984.
He looks like a tennis player. He’s shown many times that he has the skill and the inclination to win Grands Prix. For goodness’ sake, he’s also an accomplished pianist, who adores the work of Stevie Wonder.
Il tempo non ha affievolito l’affetto e la stima che Elio aveva guadagnato. Riviviamo la sua carriera nelle testimonianze di personaggi che ne riassumono stile e qualità.
