If you all were curious about the race Luigi Fagioli won to become the oldest to win an F1 race, its the French Grand Prix.
He actually swapped cars mid race with his teammate, and his teammate won the race, giving them a joint win.

No, what kind of structure is it. Like an arch, per se, but not that. There's actually a clue in what I'm looking for my word choice, so maybe that's what is causing confusion.

Round 3
1. What other mystic item must Thor need in order to wield his hammer? (specific name or general description are both fine) his iron gloves Járngreipr
2. Diamond City is the main location for most of which Mario spin-off series? Warioware
3. After being a Maserati driver for much of his career, what kind of car did Luigi Musso transfer to in the latter half of it? Ferrari
4. What part of the human body did Luigi Rolando study? The brain
5. What kind of structure is the Terrazza dell'Infinito (Terrace of Infinity), a spot on the Villa Cimbrone known for it’s beautiful view? Belvedere. It means beautiful view. Looking more closely, there might actually be another answer because apparently a belvidere is... any structure with a beautiful view? But here it is for your judgment on what other names might count. I mean, terrace, I guess.
