Some time has passed since the last site update, and I offer sincere apologies to all Elio fans all over the world. Spare time in my personal life has been in short supply recently, however here at eliodeangelis.info I never tire of collecting information relating to all things Elio and on the eve of the 26th anniversary [...]
Classic Team Lotus remembers Elio de Angelis with 81T and 91T cars (click for photos) Back in March of this year, I received an email from Andrea Gallignani who was a good friend of Elio’s and whom I have been in contact with since I started the Tribute to Elio de Angelis website in 1999. [...]
Amazingly, it has now been 25 years since the passing of Elio de Angelis. In order to commemorate and reflect upon this sad milestone, a very large site update has been completed. Picture Galleries, Tributes and Quotes sections have been updated, including articles from AutoSprint and Lotus World Magazines.
The latest site update contains: a new article from Peter Windsor entitled ‘Touched by de Angelis’, which appeared in the monthly f1 magazine F1 Racing. Also, there are Photogallery updates and also some site menu re-arrangements; which gives more visibility to imaged interviews by Rombo and Autosprint magazines. Enjoy!
Firstly I would like to wish my readers a very happy new year! A couple of updates to tell you about. The Imaged Interviews section now contains 2 new interviews from 1982 and 1984, respectively.

A new article from Nigel Roebuck has been uploaded to the ‘Features’ section that gives an insight into the situation at Team Lotus during 1985, where Ayrton Senna gradually shifted the focus away from Elio. The feature was taken from the 1985 ‘Autosport’ year in review. In addition, 2 new photographs have been uploaded to [...]
4 new photographs added to the Photogallery Section from 1983, 1985 and 1986 respectively. I have now gone through my collection of news and magazine articles, and have two very interesting interviews to type up from 1981 and 1982. The 1982 interview in particular is as in depth as the 1985 GPI interview, but will [...]
I have decided to share some of my personal items of Elio de Angelis memorabilia, and have created a new subfolder under Special Interest entitled ‘Personal Collection’. This includes some rare models and replica helmets. Enjoy!
Further updates to the photogalleries, featuring several pictures from the 1985 season and a very unusual photograph of Riccardo Patrese and Elio in the BT55′s from 1986! I’m off for a lie down now after what has been a very busy week of updates to the site. Have a good weekend everyone….
