This graph shows the difference between someone who tests cars for a living and someone who tests Ferraris for a living, driving on his home track. I'd driven Fiorano twice before today in two different cars for a combined number of laps of maybe 12.

Unsurprisingly, de Simone gains speed everywhere, but the majority of our acceleration curves are similar. The biggest differences appear on the complex parts of the track (Turns 2 and 3) and the fastest corner on the track (Turn 7), where I chickened out on entry and speed throughout.

There was no chance of my going faster that day, but the most telling thing about the LaFerrari is that a mortal can get within 2.0 seconds to the chief test driver of the thing without being familiar with the car. It's utterly approachable.
