Felipe Massa and MotoGP rider Niky Hayden took victories in a couple of ice races that closed the Ferrari and Ducati media event in the Italian Dolomites this week.

The pair held off competition from Fernando Alonso, Giancarlo Fisichella, Ducati rider Casey Stoner and Massa's little brother, Dudu. The first race, won by Massa, was in Fiat Panda road cars and the result set the grid for the second event in ice karts. Hayden led from start to finish in race two and took the victory ahead of Massa, Fisichella and Stoner. Dudu and Alonso were not classified, the two-time F1 world champion crashing into the barriers on the final lap.

Fisichella emerged victorious in a downhill skiing race between the same competitors, which was overseen by F1 CEO Bernie Ecclestone. Fisichella was also celebrating his 37th birthday at the event.
