Ferrari's been there, done it

While the Red Bull F1 drivers and MotoGP riders were brought together in Austria this week, Ferrari used to do a pre-season event alongside Ducati in the past. Wrooom would see drivers and riders taking part in a number of fun activities in the Italian Dolomites, as well as media previews and events. Here, Michael Schumacher leads the pack during an ice karting race at Madonna di Campiglio in 2002.
