Video: Alonso takes Ferrari 458 Italia round Fiorano
Monday, November 14th, 2011
There’s something enormously satisfying about watching sporting genius at play. Whether its Tiger Woods juggling with a sand wedge, Ronnie O’Sullivan playing a trick shot or Lionel Messi with a ball at his feet, the ease and grace of it all is unbelievably compelling to those of us less-blessed.
It’s the same with racing drivers. Hand any decent track specialist a road car and he’ll put on a show, but giving former world champion Fernando Alonso a Ferrari 458 Italia on the Fiorano circuit is like asking Phil Taylor to repeatedly hit the bullseye sitting on his sofa.
Younger readers might want to watch the Spaniard’s hands. Alonso’s light-fingered, lightening fast touch is an object lesson in how to do something remarkably difficult without really giving it any thought. Click below to watch.

More strange but true news from Italy? This seems too bizarre to be true but one thing is for sure – when Italians wake up tomorrow to fill their cars spending more to do so, they will be an even angrier population than they are already. In a weird attempt at helping to finance the fight against illegal immigration, an Italian fuel hike of four cents a litre is occurring.
According to official statements, the increase is required to “combat the humanitarian emergency across the national territory as posed by the exceptional influx of people from North Africa”. The new tax will raise prices to 611.3 and 470.3 euros per 1,000 litres for petrol and diesel.
Italians at the pump could be paying 0.73 cents extra a litre (Italian IVA or VAT excluded) from today. Yesterday fuel prices sat at an average of 1.576 for petrol at Eni outlets, to the 1.593 that customers pay at Shell. Diesel prices range from 1.455 to 1.479. The controversy and interested groups are innumerable but consumer groups and customers are unanimous on the financial impact that continuing raised petrol prices are having.
