Watch a former F1 driver drive his wife (crazy) around the track

The below video records what happens when former F1 driver Riccardo Patrese drives his wife around a track in a Honda Civic Type R.  Not a race car, mind you, just a street car with some special go-fast gear.  Fast forward to two minutes in, when they’ve gotten off Pit Road.

I had to laugh because it reminded me so much of what it was like when I took Erika for a spin around a go-cart track.  She kept screaming continuously, only stopping to draw deep breaths.  “EEEEEEEEEEE <wheeze> EEEEEEEEEE <wheeze> EEEEEEEE!”

    What does “vomito” mean?

    My Italian’s a little rusty, but I think it means “divorce.”
