The fourth edition of the
popular Moscow City Racing event was held on
Sunday in the centre of the Russian capital and even bad
weather could not dampen the spectacle for the race fans
as they got close to the action.
Fortunately, a break in
the torrential rain that began during the night meant
the event could go ahead with a slight delay, while the
combination of rain and the uneven nature of city
streets made for a particularly slippery track.
After attending a
press conference at the event, Scuderia Ferrari’s
Giancarlo Fisichella took part in the usual street
parade behind the wheel of a Ferrari California road
car, before tackling two runs in the cockpit of the F10,
the single-seater used last year by Scuderia Ferrari in
the FIA Formula 1 World Championship.
“It was a great honour
to represent the Scuderia on such a special occasion,
the first time a Ferrari Formula 1 car has been driven
through the streets of Moscow,” commented Fisichella,
speaking to the waiting media. “The organisers have done
an amazing job to lay out such an interesting course,
which I definitely found more interesting than previous
ones of this type that I have driven. You had to be very
careful, because the water made the urban streets
slippery, but it was really exciting to feel the
enthusiasm of the fans as I was driving and they were
not put off by the rain, packing the viewing areas
around the track. I want to thank our sponsor Kaspersky
Lab and the Ferrari family of which I am a part, for
having given me this truly unforgettable opportunity.”
