Monaco is the world’s most densely populated country, and a tax haven for rich Europeans—including more than a few F1 drivers. Now, given the amount of supercars stalking the streets of the tiny principality, you’re sure to hear ferocious exhaust notes frequently.

Ferrari just passed the 8,000,000 followers mark on Facebook. To celebrate, the company posted this video of a 458 drifting and doing donuts. And it could have been brilliant—but it isn’t. So while it might seem silly to critique a video showing one of the world’s finest sports cars being flogged like a winter beater, I’m going to do it anyway.
