a grappa with the locals, then ski
down and that's me done. But I'm
not going this year – I've got the two
best horses in the world to ride, and
I don't want to tempt fate. I don't
want some idiot crashing into me
and being out for three months.
FD: Not as much as before. Obvi-
ously it was engrained in me, as an
Italian kid, to love Ferraris. My big
dream was to get one when I was
30. But after the plane crash, aged
29 and a half, I said: 'Screw that, I'm
going to get a Ferrari as soon as I get
out of hospital.' And I did. Wasn't go-
ing to wait until I was 30! I think I've
had four or five by now, but the one
I have at the moment I hardly use.
It's more something you do when
you're younger. It's nice sometimes
to go for a drive, but it's a hassle. It's
an event. It's not like you jump into
the car and go to the shops. I'm not
saying I've grown out of it, but I have
less need than I did.
TDN: You like cars as well, though.
Is there a bit of a need for speed with
these hobbies?
