F1 Driver in a Civic Type-R = FAST!

F1 Driver in a Civic Type-R = FAST!
VODCars brings us a mix of some excellent professional driving and some completely moronic amateur stuff.

First off, former F1 racer Riccardo Patrese, having done some laps in a Honda F1 car at the Jerez circuit, gets the chance to take his wife out for a lap in the Civic Type-R. Bit of a step-down in the horsepower / handling department, but ah well...

Apparently, high-speed cornering and general aggressiveness on the track are not traits that Mrs Patrese particularly cares for and she's quick to let us know in high-pitched Italian. Riccardo barely acknowledges her protestations except to go a bit faster.

You also get to witness stupidity at its best. If you've ever wondered how to bring a freeway to a complete standstill, here's your answer. Try not to be an idiot and do this yourself. It's not big and it's not clever.
