The story about it being an insulting jesture originally aimed at the French is, I believe, true and it's VERY common in England. That's straight from an Englishman. However...
I don't see it as being that in the movie though as I wouldn't have expected an American race car driver to have known about it and wasn't it aimed at an Italian? I take his jesture as more of a "...second..." more in friendly/competitive recognition than in taunt. But that's just me.
