    Hi everyone,

    I came across this video about alonso taking the laferrari for a spin. You can see on his face expression that its going to be a hand full ;)

    I love the sound and the looks but i wonder, why is it still wrapped up? by now we know what it looks like.....

    enjoy

    It looks like quite the handful to drive. Looks like he has all of the systems turned off on the manettino.

    He's certainly got a bit of a sweat on at the end!!

    Very similar to when his friend Antonio Garcia drove my FXX at Sakhir with all the systems turned off - constantly correcting the steering wheel, with the rear wheels spinning throughout the lap!!

    I could only handle 2 laps in the passenger seat!

    Normal people shouldn't turn off the TC on these kind of cars!! I never do!!

    A mid-engine RWD beast with less than 1.3 HP per kilo and acceleration that humbles a superbike is bound to be a handful with the electronics switched off. In reality, it is lethal in the hands of non expert drivers.

    I'd say it simply goes to show just how good Alonso is!

    How fast was he going in the first in-car filming part? The speedometer looks like it's pinned, and then he slows down a bunch before the speedometer moves off the max peg!

    Wow- that is a great video...no words/narration is necessary!
