Riccardo Patrese and wife

[Peter Lombardo]

As I have mentioned before, I am a member of an F1 Modelers site. The other day, one of the members posted this video of former F1 driver Riccardo Patrese taking a spin around the track in a Honda Civic. Riccardo asked his wife to hop in and ride with him. Now, he never let on that there was a small camcorder on the corner of the dash to record her reactions to his rather “spirited†driving style. Both Riccardo, and his wife, are Italian, therefore she is only speaking Italian, which is a good thing as her language gets pretty excited.…..he is very calm behind the wheel, but she is having quite a difficult time with the “hot lapâ€.

After you watch this video, you may want to click on one of the videos on the right side to see this same video with sub-titles. I highly recommend this as it brings a new dimension to the dialog. I hope you enjoy this video, I did.

Hilarious! And she 's so charming in her own way. Patrese was always a cool customer in his F1 days and he shows it again in his little joke on his wife. Thanx for sharing!

Great video! Thanks for posting it. Had to share it, too. I used to go to the Canadian Grand Prix in the early 90's and saw him. Great driver.

What would one have to do to stop her talking?

What would one have to do to stop her talking?

She's Italian. Tie her hands behind her back!!

If you REALLY know Italians, this is nothing. She's a Madonna (religiously speaking), a saint, a sweetie pie (not to mention a trophy wife for a silver fox).
