Mourning in the world of sports. At age 62, Antonini, one of the well-known faces of Formula 1, has è passed away.

Ill for some time, he spent the last days of his life hospitalized at Sant'Orsola Hospital in Bologna. "We were distinct and distant brothers. He would tell me: I would like to write as well as you. I used to answer him: maybe I write better than you, but I don't understand about F1 like you. And he would laugh and tell me about his cats and sleepless nights and a thousand things that the wind of life took away", the words of colleague/friend Turrini.
