Fisichella finally gets hands on Brazilian cup

JORDAN’S Giancarlo Fisichella finally got his hands on the Brazilian Grand Prix winner’s trophy in a special ceremony at Imola yesterday.

Fisichella was awarded his maiden Grand Prix victory a week ago after the FIA deemed the original results, which declared McLaren’s Kimi Raikkonen the winner, to be incorrect due to a timing error.

The Italian received the winner’s trophy from Finn Raikkonen on the start-finish straight at Imola

following the opening testing session for tomorrow’s San Marino Grand Prix. “I am very happy,” Fisichella said, who waved an Italian flag in front of his home supporters after receiving the trophy.

“It was very important for me to win my first Grand Prix.”

The ceremony on the grid saw Raikkonen hand over the trophy to Fisichella, with both drivers accompanied by their respective team bosses Ron Dennis and Eddie Jordan.

Dennis also handed over the team trophy to Jordan.
