I'll just get everything done every five years, rather than the ridiculous three. Once the chocolate components are replaced, there is no doubt at all the the belts will easily last five years (and undoubtedly much longer).

And noting that I live in Switzerland where a negotiated price on the 512 is around £4,000, and £3,000 on the 348 at a specialist, so I'm already getting mugged. Bringing this forward to every three years would be plain silly.

I wish everyone would just enjoy driving their Ferraris rather than getting hung up on daft servicing schedules whilst doing 2,000km/year so the car doesn't become worthless.

Mine are now coming up to 4 years old and still only 2,000 kms. By the various chats with mechanics and the like I’ve had, it’s safest to go on time and not usage so mine’s booked into Emblem over the winter. This does mean that, having spent a small fortune, 2020 will see it out and about a lot more. No sense in paying all that dosh and putting it back in storage.
