That  bloody rain and Ferraris, thank goodness the driver wasnt responsible.

Youd  think the guys at Ferrari would put some really good  brakes and some anti skid system in those  cars wouldnt you I mean surely they could do that?????

Thai rain extra slippery no doubt

Pesky weather

You don't get brakes with a new Ferrari? Or the driver doesn't know how to use them?

Ferrari could also give a free drivingcourse to all carowners...stories like this give the brand a bad name..And no doubt this was to blame to the driver, who sais he was thai anyway?

 

 

[jerojero]

Damn rain and weak brakes! Glad the driver was innocent victim and not contributor. Sheesh!

[Wiggy]

Stupid boys and their toys.

[sammieuk1]

No suggestion of red bull just a mad bull then?

[kotsak]

"The Ferrari was unable to brake in time, said the report." - Blame the self driving mode.. ?

 

[owl sees all]

Yes! Would be a red one; wouldn't it! 

 

All the red Ferraries are dodgy in the rain.

I heard the Safety Car was out for 20 laps after that. And, Somchai still made it to the podium to keep his championship hopes alive.

I bet the Ferrari driver was speeding; I bet his passenger was a girl; I bet they had had a liquid lunch.

They could, but maybe they assume people who buy cars and have licenses can drive. I’m sure they give a demo and ask drivers to read the manual and to drive safely. I guess ultimately the person driving the car is responsible for how fast they drive and how they react to different weather conditions. But I guess for some people they find it easier to be irresponsible and then take no responsibility. We normally call them a**holes. I can’t write the word we use for people who help find blame for them elsewhere.

Oh Mike; a tad cynical there.

 

Brake prob'. Could happen to anyone.

 

Personally I think it's a ploy to elevate Leicester back to the top. 

 

Or Chelsea perhaps.

[varun]

Not the driver's fault, the tree stopped unexpectedly.

Oh I think we can be confident that if he were a faang it would have been mentioned...

First McLaren, now Ferrari. Not a great week for owners of supercars.

He must have got confused thinking he was the driving a MU 7 pick up, the other car he's got at home....( you'd think that one would take some proper driving lessons as to how to handle a high performance car would you? )....

[mercman24]

well that was obvious, new Ferrari brakes failed, i would be suing their ass off, i  was saving up for one  as well, ( i did start 60 years ago)

[cleverman]

Since arriving, manny things have amazed me. Nothing more so than how a car accident can can cause so any people to be preoccupied by it. If I ever get that interested in something so mundane, it will be time for me to leave. 

[ChiangMaiLightning2143]

More money than sense (or driving ability). Looks like that might be a 488 Spider. 0-100km in 3 seconds.

Such vehicles with torque and hp completely unlike light car and the steering also, it can get away from an inexperienced driver in an instant then you're balled up in a tree. Probably should not be allowed on public roads.

All modern supercars have a highly sophisticated traction control system which when turned on would mean the car's onboard computer constantly makes small adjustments to the brakes, suspension etc. which in turn should compensate for having a complete knuckle dragger at the wheel. The theory being that you'd have to be doing something unbelievably dumb to crash it, even in adverse weather conditions.

Somchai probably turned it off......

Yes, the super car park at Emporium is almost empty, while the wrecking yard is overcrowded. After a rainy day.

[ItDontMeanAThing]

Traction control systems can be working perfectly. If the distance needed to stop is greater than the distance to impact, you'll collide.

 

Driver training? It's widely believed Lamborghini adopted AWD in an attempt to keep their owners from crashing so often. Cynics say that's about keeping Lambo from getting a bad reputation, not about saving lives.
