Bobsleigh
The Italian bobsleigh, along with the president of the FIS Flavio Roda, visited the establishments in the Ferrari at the start of the tests in the wind tunnel of the new bob designed and developed by the Maranello for the upcoming Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014. Collaboration under Bob by Ferrari had already started with the model of "two-bob" used at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and following the Youth of Innsbruck 2012, where Patrick Baumgartner and Alexander the Great have won the gold medal.

After the positive experiences of Vancouver 2010 and London 2012 Olympic Committee and Ferrari have decided to continue their technical collaboration for the Winter Games to be held next year in the Russian city. In addition to the bob, the other disciplines that benefit from the Prancing Horse are Alpine Skiing, Snowboarding, Special Jumping, and Nordic Combined Short Track.
Three pairs of men's team (riders Simone Bertazzo, Lukas Baumgartner Patrick Gschnitzer and accompanied by brakemen Simone Fontana, Walter Frullani and Constantine Ughi) performed a series of tests on the evaluation aerodynamics of the vehicle, which had already been tried last month March on the track at La Plagne (Fra), drawing great directions in view of the work of the next few weeks. At the day's work was also attended by the technical director Antonio Tartaglia and technicians Wolfgang Stampfer and Roberto D'Amico.
