Paolo Gislimberti

His coffin was wrapped with the flag of Ferrari as Gislimberti had a passion for the team, which was represented by Luca Badoer, Claudio Berro and Stefano Domenicali.

His widow Elena and other friends and relatives were present along with Formula 1 driver Gastón Mazzacane.

110 red roses were sent by Rubens Barrichello and Heinz-Harald Frentzen, while the top teams and the FIA sent wreaths for the occasion.

During the first lap of the race, Gislimberti had stopped for a brief moment after running back to check on his fire-fighting equipment as a multiple-car accident at the Variante della Roggia corner sent a wheel from Heinz-Harald Frentzen's Jordan flying, striking Gislimberti with full force leading to massive head and chest injuries.
