    Re: Alonso driving LaFerrari

    You can sense from the video how powerful and fast the Ferrari is - Alonso looks very focused and tense. He is aware of how quick the car is...

    For comparison: just look at this video of Michael Schumacher test driving a Maserati Smiley

    Re: Alonso driving LaFerrari

    LaFerrari does looks super fast, but almost like it's so fast it's un-driveable even by one of the top modern day F1 driver. 

    Seems like either he always picked the wrong line/speed for the corners, which is highly unlikely consider where the test is and who he is, or the car simply is extremely unstable in the turns. The car also seems to have major traction issues as the 2 rear tires simply cannot handle the 900+HP. 

    Ferrari still have time to sort out the traction control issue though.

    Traction control Is off as you can see in the vidéo because châssis handling Is fine tune without It.

    Ferrari has demonstrated that they are miles behind McLaren in tuning traction control, their current system can't even handle 500hp, they will have their hands full trying to adapt to 900hp.

    Go drive the MP4-12C and the 458 back to back. Even a diehard Ferrari fanboy like you will agree.
