Rinaldo Capello retires
Not exactly a shock, but it has now been officially announced. Nice to see him stepping down while he is still quick, and still in one piece. Ciao, Dindo!

Capello, McNish and TK.
That combination is etched into my mind forever. |

Good, good, he's still going to be driving some GT events. Hoping he can get around to some of the other enduros like Spa, Daytona and (if it goes ahead) Nurburgring next term.

Echoing the "Ciao, Dindo!"
Wonder who'll be replacing him alongside Allan and TK. Surely it still has to be an Italian, they are mandated a fixed amount of hot blood and arms waving around which can only be fulfilled by an Italian. |

Read on Autosport (means nothing) that TK and Allan will go it alone. If I remember correctly Bonanomi was on TK and Allan's triathlon team in Monaco, so there is comradery there.

Congratulations to Dindo. A star - particularly at Le Mans. And a gentleman.

I love Dindo, sad to see him go, but I'm sure after all his (successful) years in racing, he's ready to take it easy. For now anyways..
