    Ferrari will use their expertise in aerodynamics to try to boost Italy's push for medals in several sports following an agreement with the country's Olympic Committee (CONI) on Monday.

    The Formula One team and commercial car maker will predominantly offer technical help to Italians competing in Winter Olympic pursuits such as bobsleigh and the luge.

    Advice on materials used to build canoes and rowing boats for the Summer Games also forms part of the agreement, with other sports set to be included at a later date.

    "If in the victories of the athletes, the federations and CONI, there is a millimetre of Ferrari help, we will be proud," Ferrari president Luca Di Montezemolo told a news conference.

    Translation: Get ready for overpriced Ferrari logoed canoes and rowboats next.
