C-Ron defends his recent motoring accident

A few weeks ago, Cristiano Ronaldo decided to raise his insurance premiums even further into the stratosphere by making some drastic alterations to the chassis of his gorgeous £200,000 Ferrari 599 GTB.

Today, he has insisted his driving skills are not to blame for the accident:

“I actually consider myself a good driver. I’ve never had an accident ins ix years, apart from this one.

“I was unlucky, I caught oil on the road, a bit of ice and there you are.”

Perhaps Ronaldo did fall foul of Manchester’s notorious oily-ice tunnels, but are we meant to believe he was sticking to a safe speed? We’re not sure what the official speed limit of the road is, but the only way he could have done that much damage to the front of the car at 30mph would be if he hit a landmine.
