When it comes to charity, Ferrari is very active and generous. The recent hurricane Sandy has caused a lot of damages and casualties in the american East Coast, and Ferrari didn't hesitated to show its support by doing a charity auction, in order to raise founds for the American Red Cross. Needless to say that the auction has been a great success by raising over 1.5$ million, the first F12 Berlinetta to be delivered in the USA has been sold to the auction for 1.125$  million, 345.000$ have been raised thanks to the donations of the dealers, and 50.000$ through online donations.

Charity Auctions for Emilia Romagna

As you remember, back in May of this year, a series of brutal earthquakes have caused a lot of damages and also casualties in the Emilia Romagna region, the place where the magic happens, where you can find some of the best automotive factories such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Pagani.

The weekend of the italian F1 GP, Ferrari has given to Google executive Benjamin Slossag the keys to his brand new Ferrari 599XX sold for an incredible price tag of 1.4m €. The proceeds from this car and other items sold at the charity auction have been donated to the victims of the earthquake.

But it's not over, the funds for this amazing region keep coming through charity car events held all around Italy, and also thanks to Mclaren that has decided to sell on Ebay the racing suits used by Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton during the italian F1 GP held at Monza. The proceeds will be donated to an hospital and a school for disabled children. Are you a crazy Mclaren fan and want to make a good deed? Here the links to the auctions:

Kobayashi does strike

During the british GP of Silverstone of today, the japanese racing driver from Sauber, Kamui Kobayashi caused an accident that could have ended really badly. You have alot of pressure during the race and even the pit stops have to be very fast. Kamui did a mistake while stopping in his pit area, he arrived too fast and while breaking with the locked wheels he has hit 4 mechanics of his team, but luckily just one of them was injured.
