    Is everyone upset because he put his hand down on the front of the car? BFD! It's a TRACK CAR!

    The only thing to think about is how he smashed the door down...

    When my father restored one car, he got some help from a friend. When the car was finish, the guy smashed the door into the lock and the side window was gone....

    I agree, BFD, but the guy comes across as an impatient moron.

    the pertinent question is who owns the car,

    if the owner was driving and is part of the FXX program then imo that 'navigator' is out of line acting the way he did.

    I agree.

    I find this kind of behavior embarassing for a company like Ferrari that deals with high end customers.

    From what I've seen, Ferrari crew is reversing the cars in the pitboxes. Drivers/owners get out and pitcrew takes over. It's probably his first day and is terrified driving a $2 million car :D

    The Ferrari engineer is a little hasty, rain or not, but the driver could speed it up a little.

    I thought your comment was fine. I was able to tell that English isn't your primary language and therefore overlooked the lack of perfect sentence structure. Too bad others can't do the same. I respect you giving it a go in English :)

    I think the navigator guy is an assh*le and should find a job where he is alone all day. There is no reason to treat the driver nor the car like that. If I owned that car, I'd make damn sure he was never allowed to look at it again. And if I was customer that was being treated like that, I'd demand an apology.

    I agree, your comment was perfectly understandable. Don't mind rude folks lacking the manners their parents obviously neglected to teach them.

    Hey there I really didn't get his point. Sorry that bothers you. What's your need to talk **** about my family. Make yourself feel good?

    It could be the navigator's car. Anyway, that carbon fiber hood can take it.

    Agreed. Slamming a door could break the glass but I'm pretty sure the windows are lexan or not glass like whats in our cars.

    I didn't see a need for the guy to "lose his temper" but who cares? Nothing broke and I doubt Ferrari will lose a customer over that.

    My thought exactly. It's carbon so it doesn't bend. The door on the other hand, that I would mind! Anyway, if I were the owner I would give that technician an earful and surely the company's management would hear from me about one of their employees!

    Could be, if so then fair enough.

    If not then regardless of damage or possibility of damage it is very disrespectful.

    I didn't see anything bad at all in the video. Navigator seemed a bit irritable and grouchy.

    I think the driver of the FXX needs to get back into his Prius.. he doesn't know how to drive the car.
