Fabio's "failed brakes" excuse didn't cut it with the owners of the Ferrari he crashed this weekend -- because they just released a statement saying the car wasn't to blame for the accident.
World Class Driving's statement: "After preliminary investigation, World Class Driving found the car was in excellent working condition prior to the incident and that brake failure was not an issue."
And to make matters more interesting, WCD also said: "The car in question also has computer data logging that is in the process of being checked to determine what caused the incident."

Fabio clearly no longer has the Midas touch. He insists the cause of yesterday's Ferrari crash was brake failure.
A rep for Fabio just gave us a jingle, claiming Mr. F was driving the $300,000 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano during a sanctioned event for World Class Driving, when he hit the brake pedal on the dreaded Mulholland Drive and... nothing.
And Fabio's rep says there's a witness -- an unnamed passenger in the car who heard Fab scream "I have no brakes," and then... crash.

We've learned Italian model Fabio Lanzoni wrecked one of the most expensive cars in the world Saturday afternoon -- and it didn't even belong to him.
We're told the Italian model was driving a Ferrari -- which was property of World Class Driving -- on Mulholland Drive near Calabasas, Cal. when he hit a turn going too fast and lost control of the car.
Sources say the ridiculously expensive ride struck something off road, causing damage to the front and back ends on the right side of the car.
Unlike the Ferrari, Fabio walked away pretty much unscathed, because we're told he was taking photos with fans at the Hyatt Hotel later that afternoon.
A rep for WCD released this statement to us: "No comment. We are not very proud of the fact that Fabio wrecked our car." Calls to Fabio's reps haven't been returned.
