It's in India though so no worries

My two year old wants to drive my car, loves standing on the drivers seat holding onto the steering wheel and making farty engine noises

Won't let him have the keys though

When I was about 10, maybe younger, my dad used to sit me on his lap and I would steer around the farm while he did the pedals. By 12 years old I had bought my own banger for £100 out of the newspaper to drive around the farm fields by myself.

All my school friends were envious

Didn't look like the first time this kid had driven a car. he looked to be in full control taking it slowly over the speed bumps. Stupid dad, lucky kid.

Very foolish idea. He should think of those who might be injured if the lad got it all wrong,which would not be difficult in such a powerful machine.

The kid is driving a Ferrari at 9!

Hahahhahahhahahaaaa

Lucky kid

Those dismissing this as stupid are only jealous.

Do not think just because he is a kid he is not capable of sound judgement and control of such a vehicle. He might end up being the next Ravi Hamilton

Have you seen the number of Ferraris which have been seriously damaged by experienced drivers such as mechanics doing a test run?
