VIDEO: Riccardo Patrese takes his wife for a spin

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!"
