“Bellissimo” speaks for itself really, as a lucky journalist gets a tour of the Fiorano track with Fernando Alonso at the wheel of a Ferrari 458 Italia. Apart from the fun the two clearly have, hearing that Ferrari rumble makes us jealous (did we say “very”?). Anyone who is the fortunate owner of a Ferrari will realise that this is how it should be driven (F1 capabilities aside). Through the giggling of the journalist, we can see why Fernando Alonso has been confirmed as a Ferrari F1 driver through to 2016. In the journalist’s words “che spettacolo”!

Fernando Alonso drives a Ferrari F1, a Ferrari 458 Italia and now also a Maserati Gran Cabrio. If that’s not reason to be envious, then I don’t know what is. These pics show Alonso with his Maserati Gran Cabrio, which would have to be one of the sexiest cabrios around (Mercedes AirScarf systems notwithstanding). Check out the lovely vehicle in the gallery below.

We all know Alonso drives a Ferrari, but this is the Alonso 458 Italia, not the F1 version. Alonso will debut for Ferrari F1 on Sunday, and this is his official 458 Italia in a beautiful Bianco Fuji pearl white. The man has style - and his personal logo stitched onto the seats. Some people can just do these things…

This video probably won’t last very long so get it while it’s hot. Ferrari president Luca Cordero de Montezemolo drove a Ferrari California, with Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso on board, into the gravel at the end of the world championships in Valencia. In hilarious scenes, Montezemolo gets himself deeper with the sand making a nice little mountain around the rear wheels.

With Massa and Alonso getting out of the car, a few technicians turn up to try and push it out, but in the end Montezemolo and the guys had to complete the round with a different vehicle. If you’re a bit anti-supercar, this is an example of the total impracticality of buying one. I love the fact the two Formula One drivers get the hell out of there and leave Montezemolo in his Ferrari, all at sea.
