Czech Railways broke safety rules by allowing Fittipaldi to drive train

In the cockpit of a race car, Emerson Fittipaldi was a two-time Formula One champion. In the engine of a Czech train, he's persona non grata. Czech Rail Inspection said the state-run rail company broke safety rules when it let the Brazilian racer Fittipaldi and two Czech racers manipulate the controls of the Pendolino high-speed train. On October 11, the Prague-to-Vienna train "was operated in breach of Czech Railways' rules and of the Czech legal system," the agency said. Only train drivers are allowed in the engine, it said.
