Of course, things don’t go well for Ferrari during the 1957 Mille Miglia race. Race car driver Alfonso de Portago (played in the film by Gabriel Leone) blew a tire 40 miles outside of the race starting point in Brescia, Italy. The resulting crash ended the lives of de Portago, his co-driver Edmund Nelson, and nine spectators who were standing along the highway, five of whom were children. The crash nearly ended the Ferrari’s racing program and Ferrari himself caught manslaughter charges, along with the tire manufacturer. Both Ferrari and the manufacturer were later acquitted.
