Sicilian roots

40

Daniel Ricciardo recently visited the island of his ancestors as he participated in an original event organised by Red Bull on the route of the old Targa Florio. This amazing race was held on Sicilian roads, running through towns and villages on a 72km tour. Ricciardo - who has a Sicilian father - took the wheel of the Alfa Romeo 33 TT3 which was driven by Helmut Marko in 1972.
