it's classic 1980's fare so maybe a bit hard to watch at times and sure, our Italian speaking tracktard friends will get more out of it but what a cool memory of the great Michele Alboreto, hooning a fire breathing, F40 at Fiorano.
In 1987 Alboreto had fought, along with Gerhard Berger, with a very unreliable F1/87, retiring from 9 races during the season. No wonder he looks a bit down!
With him is the Italian Murray Walker, Ezio Zermiani, the voice of F1 for ages.
Two factoids I did not know about the F40: It could be ordered with straight cut gears (never heard this before) and it has a 32 gallon fuel tank!
Alboreto in the video describes the F40 as "a bit like a German shepard, you can pet it and it will be nice but if you are mean to it it will bite you"
Awesome and touching in the end.
