Lucky Gets Luckier: Fernando Alonso's Ferrari 458 Italia

Just when you thought Fernando Alonso couldn't get any luckier. The guy's the only driver ever to really beat Michael Schumacher at his own game during his prime, and now he's got his job. He's a two-time world champion, probably makes more money than just about anyone else on the grid (or in any other sport, for that matter), and has already won his debut grand prix with Ferrari. To cap things off, the Spaniard just took possession of a brand new Maserati GranCabrio.
What, still not enough? How about throwing a new Ferrari 458 Italia into the mix? According to reports, Alonso's contract with the Scuderia stipulated his receiving a 458 in exactly these specifications: painted Bianco Fuji (otherwise known as pearl white) with his signature logo embroidered onto the seat backs. It was spotted recently at the company's headquarters in Maranello, and brought to us by the mavens over at FerrariChat by our star tipster Patrick.

Interesting that you say Alonos was the only driver ever to really beat Michael Schumacher at his own game during his prime. When asked who he had feared as a driver, Schumacher have a one-word response: "Häkkinen".
