    How bad is the damage? It looks fixable, mainly at the front, broken suspension. How difficult it it to replace the carbon fiber under structure (not the exterior panels)?

    I'm starting to think a lot of owners of cars of this type are dumbasses...

    Check this video out, guy is trying to do donuts on tires he claims are shot, which he blamed for why he had an off-track excursion earlier...

    Can't even do a donut w 950hp to two wheels...

    Because for all that money.. Ferrari knows that these owners can't drive worth a ****. So they put a ****load of electronic nannies in the car to keep it on the road. Yet, they still manage to push the envelope beyond what the nannies can accommodate. This usually takes astounding lack of skill to do. A computer system that lets you throw it around at 150 MPH and make mistakes... and still keeps you going straight. To push the car beyond that nannie. Wow.

    In this case I wouldn't be surprised the guy didn't bother to read the manual and disable the nannies so he can do a proper donut. Looks like front wheel systems are still active and he's not exclusively driving with gas power.

    Money does not correlate with driving ability. Especially if its inherited. :)

    what a dumba$$ Why would you accelerate like that in total stop and go traffic? More money than brains apparently! Also, the iPhone must have not made it yet to Budapest because that video quality was worse than 1980's camcorder quality!

    He spun out at Turn 1 at Sonoma. Blames shot & cold tires. He later then blames the car and so then chose to drive his P1 on track instead.

    His lap times were as fast as mine. When I drove a miata.

    I would have to agree with you.

    Yes, Mr. S. sold it soon after the crash in Monaco to Mr. M. in the UK.

    not sure if it is too inappropriate to ask but the resale price and the cost of repair would be interesting to know considering the crash being documented by public eyes.

    Let's dial back the hate a little.

    Poor guy had a bad moment. The LaFerrari has a lot more HP and Torque that what most Ferrari owner's drive.

    La Ferrari >>>f12>ff>458>>California

    At Fiorano, the LaFerrari absolutely smokes an F12. Makes an FF look like a station wagon around the track.

    Plus the F12 and FF are very forgiving since they are front mid engined and less tail happy.

    Fortunately no one was injured and the car can be fixed.

    And for those who make fun of him for being rich enough, why don't you look in the mirror and ask yourself why aren't you rich enough to buy one.

    Is that a wee Haggis?

    looks like he gave it full bore as he was pulling out to the right to dart between the two cars...lost the back end to the right ..then did a massive over correction...ouch. great beer in Budapest.

    Actually it does occur from time to time in history. The same thing happened in the early 2000s when the first Ford GTs and Porsche Carrera GTs came out and eager/unexperienced drivers crashed the cars before making it home on the first drive.
