I'm guessing he's Muslim. Chechnya, right?
Cyrillised spelling/translation of the Arabic Sulaiman, for sure.

Yes...the "zig zagging" part jumped right out at me.
With a jerkoff like that, smashing up his expensive Ferrari driving like a dickhead would be just reward, I don't really wish for anyone to get hurt.
Just glad it wasn't someone else he killed.

Interesting article. I wonder why there is no mention of Nafta-Moskva and the UN oil for food scandal.

This guy is more American than Russian, "whoever dies with the most toys wins!" I wondered what a "far-right wing" Russian would be.

Not much car between you and the road. In the crash in California last year, the Enzo split in half also. Wonder if it's a safety feature, probably safer to get ejected and take your chances on getting impaled on a tree or not...

The car split in half, but the passenger compartment "cocoon" remained intact. The international criminal involved in THAT accident suffered a mere busted lip.

must be something in the Ferrari red paint.Witnesses told police that the black 12-cylinder Ferrari,
More likely something in the red blood of the driver. I doubt that the fool actually bought the car from the factory, they won't sell them to anyone with the money, the buyer must have owned other high performance Ferrari's before (not a 308, more like a 260) since the Enzo is basically an F1 car with a road legal body and without experience, it'll kill you without mercy.

You're close. Dagestani Muslim 72nd richest man in the world. But when you ain't got your health, you ain't got nothin'.
From Forbes:
Born in the southern Russian republic of Dagestan near Chechnya and the Caspian Sea. Worked as an economist at the Eltav factory in Dagestan and at other electronics companies. In early 1990s moved to Moscow and began buying up companies on the cheap and selling them for a profit. These include: Vnukovo Airlines (one of the biggest air carriers in Russia), Murmansk Airport, Avtobank, Nosta metal plant and Ingosstrakh insurance company, as well as a huge stake of preferred shares in Transneft, the oil-transportation monopoly. Since 2004 Kerimov has been buying shares in state-run Gazprom (the world's largest natural gas producer) and Sberbank (the biggest retail bank in the country), which now form the core of his wealth.

Suleiman Kerimov, 40, a member of the State Duma and one of Russia's richest men, reportedly lost control of his Ferrari and crashed into a tree in Nice on Saturday afternoon. His car burst into flames, and the MP was flown by helicopter to a Marseilles clinic with severe burns. (Photo: AFP 2006, Valery Hache)
"Kommersant" said there was a woman passenger in Kerimov's car. Russian TV channel STS confirmed Monday that channel anchor Tina Kandelaki was in the car, but said she did not suffer in the crash. (?)

Other than driving one into the Med, I can think of no finer way to retire a Ferrari than in a flaming crash.

Hi All- Burns covering 70% of his body? He is as good as dead. They couldn't put enough skin grafts and artificial skin on his charred body to prevent infection. What a horrible way to go.
