“Returning to the 1000 Miglia has given us a great feeling: it’s been really exciting to cross the packed squares and experience all the fans' enthusiasm. The performance of our Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Sprint has also been amazing: we held nothing back to get to the Parma time check on time. Then, on the Cisa Pass, we witnessed some of the most breathtaking views and the most enjoyable roads; arriving on the Viareggio seafront was incredible too. It’s the most beautiful race in the world in the most beautiful country in the world: we like to think that the great turnout is a sign of optimism and the recovery, as well as one of passion for Alfa Romeo.”

“The pleasure of driving the Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Sprint and the beauty of this country stop this very long stage from tiring us out too much. We’ll remember passing by Bolgheri and the magic of the twinkling lights of the Italian capital. We were moved most of all by the warmth of Rome’s welcome, the same welcome we were given throughout the day in every village, in every town and on every road, at all times of the day: a sign of the passion beautiful cars stir up in us Italians”

“We’ve completed the longest stage of this year’s 1000 Miglia, and we’ve received an incredibly warm welcome everywhere. Today though, we’d like to pay tribute to the work of the support team at the Heritage department, who very quickly restored the leverage of the clutch on our Alfa Romeo, which was put to the test by the descents between Umbria and Tuscany. That’s how we managed to cross the historic Futa and Raticosa Passes to arrive in Emilia-Romagna, the land of engines where a special feeling is always waiting in the wonderful way the public here likes to join in.”

“We’re delighted to have arrived in Brescia and with the all-Italian, all-Stellantis podium for this year’s 1000 Miglia. We’re also really pleased with our progress: day after day, we improved in the standings, becoming more and more familiar with our Alfa Romeo – an extraordinary car – in both the time trials and the average timing checks. We worked hard to stick to the schedule and to get to the timing checks at the set times: on top of the public, the scenery, and the stunning cars, the competitive element is of fundamental importance, and we’re very proud that an Alfa Romeo is the winner of this edition.”
