Video: Ferrari F1 Drivers Flog Fiat’s 500 on Snow-laden Course


Some of you laughed at the news that Ferrari F1 driver Felipe Massa received a personalized Fiat 500, but we'd argue he can still have some fun with the nueva Topolino. Case in point is this footage from the recent Fiat 500 Challenge, which pitted a handful of Massa's teammates and colleagues against each other. Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikkonen and test drivers Luca Badoer and Marc Gene joined Massa last month to flog the Fiats around a snowy course.

We'd argue that such an event should have waited for the arrival of the Abarth 500, but it's mildly enjoyable nonetheless. If one clip isn't enough, part two is also hosted on YouTube for your enjoyment.

The shot of the pace car at 8:04 is classic Italian. I couldn't make myself watch the whole video though. Its in slo-mo!

It looked like fun, but it really shows how spectacular WRC cars are. Obviously, they have so much more power, but the suspension travel is so much greater. Watching those toy cars pitch like a sprung horse toy was comical.

There is one mayor advantage of driving on the snow... You will not need so much tire changes. XD

But this sure looks funny
