INTERVIEW
biola is in charge of everything: she
tells me when it’s time to get ready for
driving, clocks the lap times and
checks the tyre pressure. It’s like in the
Seventies, when the drivers’ wives were
in the stands with mechanics and en-
gineers. Except that we don’t have a
crew…
”
Everything else is managed by Cappel-
lari himself. “
It’s a tiring weekend, but
I fully enjoy it. I’m the driver, the me-
chanic, the engineer and even the gril-
ler for the dinner barbecue…
”
The costs for running the team are
pared to the bone, but what about the
car itself?
“
Obviously buying the car has been the
main expense, but I found a very good
second-hand León. And I must say that
the running costs of the SEAT are really
affordable.
”
Well-done Daniele! Mr Lotti is proud of
you!
