Cue stirring music, dramatic snow-sliding shots from a chopper and a glorious V12 soundtrack. This is a video made during the Ferrari FF’s (many and varied) testing phase.
PPPPOOOOOOWWWWWEEEEERRRRRRRR.
Enjoy.

Wooo-hooo! You should have been here last year!
I’m sorry, but is the world suffering from a collective bout of amnesia? ”The Bahrain Grand Prix was boring” they wailed. “It wasn’t exciting” they cried, gnashing their teeth. Boring you say. Boring? Well, fucking news flash, Formula 1 is boring.
Full Gallery: Every F1 Car on the Grid for 2010
Friday, February 26th, 2010
Team: McLaren. Drivers: Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button.
The cars are looking sharp this year, we must say. It seems the liveries are getting more focused in line with the less fussy cars that have been mandatory for two seasons now. There’s loads of brand new teams and of course Lotus is back with (obviously) their traditional colours and USF1 continues to surprise and entertain us. We’ve also got every date on the calendar in a handy, um, list format.
Every car on the grid and race calendar after the jump: (more…)
Puma commissions F1 car made out of shoe boxes [video]
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
Rumours that this is a US F1 prototype could not be confirmed.
Sure it’s light, but will it handle? For the launch of a new store in Chigaco, Puma commissioned British duo The Wilson Brothers to create an F1 replica. It is magnificent. Pic gallery and a short time lapse video of its creation after the jump.
Secrets Of F1 Success Revealed.
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010A few weeks back I had a bit of a rant about the typo on soon to be shite Campos F1′s website. I prattled on about all the intimate details that need to be considered in order to triumph in the high-tech world of Formula 1. Boy was I wrong. It seems success is a far simpler task. Read on…
Campos Meta Unveils “Type-O” On Website
Thursday, January 28th, 2010
A fool and his money are soon giving press conferences.
Last season was one of the closest in terms of actual times seperating the cars on track. Pole position to the last slot on the grid was usually settled by just over a second. And then for whatever reason the big guns started leaving. Honda, BMW and then Toyota used words like “corporate re-alignment”, “brand re-focus” and “we’re just plain shite” as exit strategies.
F1 Shocker: Ferrari Says Something True
Thursday, November 5th, 2009Ferrari has long loathed privateer upstarts. The old man himself, Enzo Ferrari, famously referred to the British teams as garagista -garage owners. Now, although I’m not particularly a fan of theirs, Ferrari has it absolutely right.
Check it out by clicking this word. Or this one.
Just a quick one: Renault F1 holding crisis meeting in Paris
Thursday, November 5th, 2009After I posted the news about Toyota pulling out of F1, I discovered that Renault F1 is holding a crisis meeting in Paris to discuss their future involvement in the black of hole of money that is Formula 1. I’m not a history buff but whenever anyone holds a crisis meeting in Paris the result is Germany rebuilding itself to take over the world. I mean, figuratively speaking of course. We’ll keep you posted.
And it all started so positively this year.
Car companies can’t handle rejection either as Toyota quits F1
Thursday, November 5th, 2009Just two weeks ago Toyota offered Raikkonen oodles of cash to put Panasonic on his chest and race for the slightly red and white. Today, Toyota quits F1. Coincidence?
That's what he thought of your offer, Toyota.
This morning’s headline came as a bit of a shock to me. We all knew that the Japanese car industry was in trouble when giants Honda pulled out of F1 and Subaru pulled out of WRC. Colin Mcrae must have 360′d in his resting place.
eF-One: You Only Sing When You’re Winning
Friday, October 23rd, 2009No-one likes a bad loser, but the Brits seem to have a wonderful knack of being bad winners. And bad losers. Y’know, because they always lose at stuff. I have maintained for many years now England will never win another FIFA World Cup™ because they’re all atheists. “God is a Brazilian” after all, but not when it comes to F1 it seems. Poor Rubens Barrichello. It’s like his house always burns down when he has a braai in his own backyard.
Button. Probably supports Chelsea.
But I guess we should grudgingly give Jenson Button some measure of kudos for wrapping up the world title. However it spoke volumes for me about the man’s character when he was stuck behind Kamui Kobayashi for lap after excruciating lap. Button got on the team radio and complained about Kobayashi weaving and blocking him. Please. It was his Grand Prix debut and as a World Champion elect it’s your job to get past him. Kobayashi drove defensively and legally, although his honour was called into question later on when he swerved dangerously in front of Kazuki Nakajima sending him on a murder ride into the barriers.
