VIDEO: Riccardo Patrese takes his wife for a spin
Click above to watch the video
As anyone with a less-than-enthusiastic spouse can attest, getting your better half in the passenger seat during a hard track flogging takes the kind of intestinal fortitude normally reserved for Lutz's PR team. Apparently, it doesn't get any easier even if you've got some Formula One experience.
Hit the jump to watch former F1 ace Riccardo Patrese take his rather attractive wife for a Sunday spin in a Honda Civic Type-R, complete with plenty of Italian expicitives and one positively hilarious "No no no no NO NO NO NO!"

I saw this on here earlier today but it's risky to watch at work so I was waiting all day to see it! TOTALLY WORTH IT
And OMG she's hotter than hot!

Reminds me of my first time on a jet ski with my gf. She was screaming the whole time threatening to kill me and was actually crying tears. The adrenaline rush I was getting from flying through the air and the little control i had plus her nails digging into my skin had me cackling like a maniac.
(she couldn't swim either)

I loved how he never stopped smiling the whole time. Now they need to let her ride with him in something like an Ariel Atom.

That was pretty cool, must be fun around the Patrese household.
