Ferrari’s Formula 1 driver Kimi Raikkonen was invited to have a go in the Prancing Horse’s hypercar, the LaFerrari, on the carmaker’s Fiorano track. Not only did the Finn accept the invitation, but he also posted some of the wildest laps we’ve seen so far in the tech-laden hypercar.
Like any proffesional driver, Raikkonen took it slow at the beginning and progressively pushed the 963hp monster harder until he pushed it too hard and it bit him.
The rear end of the LaFerrari suddenly swerved to the right, the Finn swiftly countersteered but then the rear end went the other way, sending the car into a spin and on the grass.
Handling problems or overenthusiastic driving? Judge for yourself by watching the video posted below. One thing is for sure: Fernando Alonso didn’t spin the LaFerrari when he drove it.
