Let's all go for a ride with ex-F1 pilot Riccardo Patrese

The Grand Prix of Brazil is on this weekend and there will be lots of F1 news today, tomorrow and Sunday.

The big question will be whether Jenson Button can score enough points to clinch his first world championship. There are all sorts of mathematical equations floating around out there about whether or not Sebastien Vettel and/or Rubens Barrichello can catch him, but the bottom line is this: if he’s on the podium in Brazil, it’s all over. All he needs is six more points and it doesn’t matter what the other two guys do.

After that, the conversation will undoubtedly focus on the upcoming FIA election to pick the new Max Mosley. In short, the news is all going to be very, very serious.

So let’s have some fun today.

Here’s a great video of ex-F1 pilot Riccardo Patrese taking his wife around Jerez in a Honda Civic Type-R.

It’s a year old but if you haven’t seen it, it’s a scream.

It starts out a little slowly but stick with it because it's worth it.

Enjoy!

That's brilliant, Norris -- such language! This one is very good, too -- Damon Hill literally making a journalist throw up....

Absolutely brilliant videos. Thanks for linking to them. I remember watching Patrese in his F1 days and you can see he still enjoys his driving.
thanks

Brilliant, thanks!.

For those who can't follow the Italian dialog, there's a subtitled version, perhaps best kept away from the kids.

There is a video with sub-titles of the run with Patrese wife, what a howl, she's good fun.
