Formula 1 drivers are notoriously difficult to interview, and usually when they do talk on camera, the conversation is not very interesting – except when the person giving the interview is Kimi Raikkonen, of course.
Obviously, there are exceptions to this “rule” and the Fernando Alonso interview you’re about to watch is one of them. Ferrari’s Formula 1 driver was interviewed by a reporter of German television network RTL while driving the F12Berlinetta on the Nürburgring Nordschleife – the very first time the Spaniard drove a Ferrari road car on the “Green Hell.”
Alonso loved how the F12 handled the track, and managed to scare the reporter when the tail of the car started sliding (at the 3:15 minute mark). The Spaniard tells the reporter that he regrets that Formula 1 doesn’t use the Nordschleife anymore, and also talks about many other things concerning his life as a Ferrari F1 driver.
Scroll down to watch how gracefully Alonso manages to control the F12Berlinetta while also talking to the reporter.
