Perhaps...but the Italian driver smiled back at McQueen after he did it to him.... there was a comaraderie between the 2 drivers.... imo, McQueen's character did not do it as an insult.... i think it was more of a whimsical statement out of sportsmanship.... after all, his character ran interference allowing his teammate to actually win the race...
imo... he was gesturing to the driver something like "gotcha this time, but we live to fight another day, it was fun..."
also...he could have simply been gesturing "2nd place... damn oh well" to which the Italian driver smiled back....
