We implore you to take a few minutes out of your hectic morning before Loose Women starts to watch this video.
In it, Ferrari F1 drivers Felipe Massa and That Man With Expensive Thumbs climb aboard the vomit comet - the 149mph F1 rollercoaster in Abu Dhabi's very classy, tasteful and subtle homage to Enzo Ferrari. Filmed, presumably, before the last race of the season where Alonso scuppered his chances of becoming triple world champion.
While he and Felipe are accustomed to the physical demands of being thrown around at high speeds, their faces aren't. There is no helmet-action on this rollercoaster, so watch physics undermine the two drivers' dignity in a most hilarious fashion.
If, after watching this, you have got a taste for F1, click here to view our roundup of the season, and then click here to get the lowdown on Vettel's season. And click here to see how much Alonso's thumbs are worth. Clue: if you have to ask...
Watch Alonso's face get destroyed

The customary thumbs up from Alonso there. Not only does he have two caterpillars on his face but he obviously has a cabbage head too the way it got distorted there. Massa is such a nice guy and a genuine bloke, I feel sorry for him at Ferrari.

Is that rollercoaster really that great? There was the initial rush at the beginning but it seems to be just any other coaster ride after that. You could achieve a similar effect with a fast car and stick your head out the window for a few seconds. You wouldn't have to fly all the way to Dubai.

Just before it started accelerating, i would have loved to do whatI think Michael McIntyre said he'd like to do on a rollercoaster. Bend down, pick up a bolt that you brought on there, and say "excuse me, do you know where this came from?" and then watch his reaction, test to see how cool he really is
