A multi-millionaire now has video evidence of his driving deficiencies following his performance during a race at the famous Monza track. The man struggled to control the high performance 5489 Ferrari, as he slid off the circuit and into the gravel traps placed on the curves for safety. At one point, the man came close to colliding with another racer as he rejoined the race, following one foray off the track. Fortunately for everyone concerned, the car eventually sustained damage from the gravel and this resulted in tyre failure, so the driver had to slowly limp his vehicle back into the pits and retire from the race. The sports commentators however were unable to retrain their mirth at the man’s plight, suggesting he take up off-road racing or go-karting instead.

This showed the driver dancing in the aisle of his vehicle with other passengers, even as the bus thundered along the road at around 112km/h (70mph). The authorities were less than impressed with the man’s antics and he was fined and banned from driving. With future employment as a bus driver unlikely given his misdemeanor, it is not clear if he will make the life switch to dance instructor instead.
