A Ferrari linked to Vito Quiles is burning: doubts about the plate
A burnt Ferrari, a video that has been circulating for days, and a license plate—P 0804 BDR—that remains disputed. The most widespread version suggests that the incendiary car is the same Ferrari activist Vito Quiles used to travel to the Formula 1 Grand Prix, and that the fire was a protest against fuel prices and government policy. However, verification is not complete.
What is known about the P 0804 BDR plate?
The plate is green, a provisional format used for imported vehicles that do not yet have the definitive one. And here is the uncomfortable detail: this specific combination is listed as unassigned. This allows for two interpretations. One, that the plate belongs precisely to the Ferrari shown burning in the images. The other, that the coincidence of wheels, headlights, spoiler, and plate is insufficient to prove it is the same vehicle. Those who distributed the video maintain that the match is total; others argue that one must be skeptical of such comparisons and that certainty will only come, if it comes, with documentation, not screenshots.
Who bears the cost of a burned-up Ferrari?
The tone changes here. If the car was borrowed, the question is who is liable for the lost value. And if it is confirmed that the video sought to simulate something else, the matter ceases to be a mere social media anecdote. Comparisons circulate regarding the cost of other official trips—those, yes, paid for with public money—and it is recalled that the driver's license was reportedly obtained in just one week, a detail published by a local media outlet. None of this is settled.
With the available data, the hypothesis of staging cannot be dismissed or confirmed. It is likely that in the coming days, documentation regarding the vehicle or an official version from the owner will appear. If neither appears, the story will remain where it is: a burning car, a provisional plate, and too many certainties for so few proofs.
