36 yrs later, Patrese has finally managed to drive Lancia LC1 in a Martini suit.
He actually never driven the LC1 wearing the Lancia's racing suit, until last month during the 2018 Imola Motor Legend Festival. Here's why :
Back in 1982, Lancia's drivers wore the Martini suit both in WSC and WRC

Ghinzani even had a Martini helmet instead of his Fittipaldi's look-a-like!
However...
A funny guy wanted Riccardo Patrese to wear the Brabham-Parmalat suit in all of his races for contract reasons!
Business first for Bernie :D

And that's why it took so long to see Patrese drive the Lancia LC1 in regular uniform with the iconic stripes!
