Before heading for Budapest and the Hungarian Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso had the opportunity to assess for himself the very latest phase of development of the quickest car ever produced in Maranello for everyday road use, not just exclusively on track; the LaFerrari.

Judging from his efforts, Alonso enjoyed every one of the 963 horsepower on offer from the combination of the V12 engine (800 hp) and the electric motor (163 hp) which powers the first hybrid car to come through the gates on Via Abetone Inferiore.

Along with his team-mate Felipe Massa, the Spaniard was involved right from the start in the project and even on this occasion he contributed valuable insights to the team of engineers and test drivers involved in bringing to life and developing this extraordinary car.
