When it comes to promoting a sports car, few celebrities can be more convincing than a racing driver can. Following Marc Gene’s promotional video with the Alfa Romeo 4C, the carmaker had another Formula 1 driver try its mid-engined sports car, Scuderia Ferrari’s Giancarlo Fisichella. The Italian took his role very seriously and performed a complete review of the Alfa Romeo 4C on the Balocco circuit.

Fisichella described the driving position of the 4C as “impeccable” and praised the “fantastic” handling and the very precise steering, comparing the latter to that of a racing car’s, especially in the corners.

The Italian also found the 4C to be very precise even in wide, fast corners, and was impressed with its stable rear end. You can see where this is going, so we’ll let you find out what other adjectives Fisichella used for the Alfa by watching the video below.

We have two theories: either the car is so good and deserves to be more expensive than a Porsche Cayman, or Fisichella loves his current job very much.
