Driving in your uncle’s tire tracks

• 

This year’s Mille Miglia was won by Giordano Mozzi and Stefania Biacca in their 1933 Aston Martin Le Mans. But one of the highlights along the 1,600 km of the historic Brescia-Rome-Brescia route were racing drivers Mika Häkkinen and Juan Manuel Fangio II in their Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR (W 196 R series).  Juan Manuel Fangio II is the nephew of legendary auto racer Juan Manuel Fangio who in 1955 came on second place in the Mille Miglia in an identical car.
