Felipe Massa's Seven-Year-Old Destroys Daniel Ricciardo in Crazy Cart Race

From Road & Track

Felipe Massa's son Felipinho may only be seven-years-old, but he can more than hold his own against a professional F1 driver. In fact, he can put an F1 driver to shame, as he did to Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo in a riveting ten-lap Crazy Cart race.

Ricciardo won the inside line position in qualifying–sorry, I meant rocks, paper, scissors–but Felipinho used his superior power-to-weight ratio and lower center of gravity to his advantage. Over the course of ten laps, Ricciardo couldn't catch Massa.

Watch the full race to catch Felipinho's excellent handbrake turn, and "champagne" celebration. The younger Massa looks like he's got a bright future ahead of him.
