Iconic symbol for the London 2012 Paralympics, the former car racing champion came to Maranello to see his friend Stefano Domenicali.
Along with the Scuderia Ferrari team principal, Alex Zanardi visited the departments where the car that will take part in this year's Formula 1 World Championship is taking shape.
The mechanics, busy with the final, delicate stages of assembling the car, gave him a very warm welcome, before posing together for photos.
"It was a very exciting evening for me!" said Alex, talking to www.ferrari.com. "The thing that struck me the most when I went into the department where the new car was being built, was the smell, the same I used to smell when I went to the Chip Ganassi team headquarters in America. There too the car was red, but it definitely wasn't a Ferrari! I know many of the guys who work at the Scuderia from a long time ago, but this was my first time in Maranello and it was a great experience. Finally, I can claim to have got my hands on a Red car!"
