It amuses saddens us deeply whenever some uncautious driver crashes his Ferrari in an attempt to show off to bystanders.

And that is exactly what happened in the following video: two drivers are cruising along the streets of Sofia, Bulgaria in their Ferrari Californias, when one of the two turns into a corner with an heavier-than-necessary foot (and quite possibly the wrong manettino setting) and ends up crashing his 250k$ convertible. There is also a video of the aftermath showing the full extent of the damage.

The all-new Ferrari 458 Italia has officially been unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
It features a 4.5-litre V8 with direct injection technology. It develops a mighty 425 kW at 9000 rpm (!!). Maximum torque is 540 Nm at 6000 rpm with over 80 percent of which is available from 3250 rpm – perfect for driveability.
The F430 replacement has the same 7-speed gearbox that’s mounted on the California, but with slightly tweaked gear-ratios, in order to deliver the full power of the bestial V8.
Check out the videos of the unveiling and of none other than Michael Schumacher himself talking about the 458 after the break!

The final result of the Monaco GP was not the one expected by the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro at the end of the saturday’s qualifying session.

The two red pilots were ready to lead the group in the starting grid of the race, but while Felipe Massa confirmed his good condition during the whole weekend, the world champion Kimi Raikkonen made a mistake after another.

The finnish pilot was overcame by Lewis Hamilton at the start of the race, and had later more problems than Massa in the central part of the competition, characterized by alternating rain and by many accidents, finishing 9th, that means without points, because of an unbelievable mistake that lead him to hit the car of Sutil, youngster who was in that moment dreaming of an unexpected 4th place.

At the same time, Massa kept on fighting against Hamilton, who won this historical GP for his first time, and Kubica, who finished second, confirming the great beginning of the season for the BMW team.

The inexperienced driver’s mistakes made by Raikkonen led the english pilot to the first place in the Drivers’ Championship, with Kimi as second and Felipe third; Massa was the one who partly saved the day for Ferrari, gaining six points that let the team to keep 16 points over McLaren-Mercedes in the Constructors’ Championship, waiting for Montreàl GP in June.
