I saw this in a Car and Driver magazine once with an F-15 vs a Mustang or some such American car. I think it was just a ploy used by the magazine scribes to get free rides in a jet.
In this case I think that Elspode is definitely right. "Thursday's event was organized by the Italian defense department and hailed as a demonstration of Italian industry."
I'd be willing to bet that Schumacher got a ride too.
