    Ferrari 458 Italia making a Monaco Tunnel Run under the Fairmont Hotel lost control and went over the concrete barrier at a 25mph zone. Looking at some videos with supercars making these tunnel runs at high speed it is easy to see how this Ferrari 458 ended up on the other side of the barrier on the sidewalk.

    I looked at the video and there seems like there are gaps in the barrier, maybe it went through there. so lucky no one was walking there.

    Police are not impressed at all with speeding in the tunnel there.


    Think he's been a naughty boy and went stupid, car went up and over.

    Too bad it wasn't one of those mansory ones - if it had to be a 458...just saying.

    Hope everyone's ok but if your going to crash a Ferrari anywhere in the world you'd want to be telling people it was exiting the tunnel at Monaco :)

    Sh.. happens! No one told him that it is too narrow to park there...

    After having watched this stupid tunnel-video, I'm not really proud about us Ferrari drivers.

    Don't be so hard on yourself, there are dumb drivers in every car make and model.

    Guess he was worried car would catch fire, so cautiously he parked it in the safest location.
    Fire post was already on his windscreen...
