Video: Ricardo Patrese takes his wife lapping

What happens when a long retired Formula 1 driver goes for a nice afternoon drive with his wife? If you are Ricardo Patrese, you might just happen to take her for a tour of the track at Jerez. Of course, when you put a man of such considerable talent behind the wheel of a Honda Civic Type R, the drive may be a bit brisk. Ricardo’s wife is a woman of considerable talents herself but it seems she has never considered what her husband used to do for a living. While I don’t understand Italian, I’m pretty sure there was something along the lines of an F-bomb in there and the hand gestures pretty much tell the tale. I get the feeling that Mr Patrese has a mean streak or a score to settle!

Too funny. I wish I was a seatbelt.

Funny, my wife is usually stone silent when I hit the iV-TEC’s sweet spot in my Civic Si.
