Alonso suffers first Ferrari shunt

Fernando Alonso has barely been unveiled as a Ferrari driver and already the Spaniard has suffered his first accident.

Skiing on the slopes at Madonna di Campiglio at part of Ferrari's 'Wroom' media week, the double World Champion took a tumble much to the delight of those present.

According to the Telegraph, the Spaniard 'slid 40 metres down a black run on his backside, skis and poles exploding all around him.'

And there was a dash of irony to it as the slope where he had his tumble is called 'Michael Schumacher.'

Alonso, though, was quick to get up and brush himself off, saying: "I'm not a good skier - but I'm fast."
