The three-year-old Turkish boy who drives a Ferrari like a professional

Little Zayn Sofuoglu is up to his old tricks again. First, this three-year-old boy got behind the controls of a Ferrari to park it, a moment recorded and broadcast on social networks. Specifically, on the Instagram profile of the minor, supervised by his mother and his father, the former Turkish driver and five-time winner of the Supersport World Championship, Kenan Sofuoglu. Despite its precocity, the video was not without controversy, because the minor lacks any driving license.

Now, Zayn has gone a step further. He has gotten back into the Ferrari, a red SF90 Stradale with 1,000 horsepower, to drive it on a closed circuit, without any adult co-driver.

In the video broadcast through his Instagram account (@zaynsofuoglu), the little boy is seen in his best clothes and with all possible safety equipment: helmet, racing suit, gloves and a chair adapted for children.

Zayn does several laps around the circuit and performs with ease both on the straights and in the curves, always under the watchful eye of his father, something that continues to generate controversy due to the approval he receives from his parents. Upon finishing, he shows his joy at his feat and high-fives his mentor.

Despite the fact that many users have praised his ability to drive a car with these characteristics and power, others have criticized this family and the authorities for allowing the child to drive the vehicle without having reached the minimum legal driving age.

Zayn Sofuoglu is very popular on social networks. This boy, who will be four years old next April, accumulates more than a million followers on Instagram. In his profile, managed by his parents, we see how the minor has always had a passion for motorsports and racing.

From a very young age, this boy has not hesitated to get on a go-kart, get behind the controls of a motorbike (big or small), direct several quads or drive cars of all kinds.
