Testing at the Jerez circuit
15th December 2006
Maranello, 15th December
Circuit: Jerez circuit – 4.423 km
Drivers: Luca Badoer and Marc Gene
Cars: 248 F1
Weather: air temperature 7/17 °C, track temperature 7/21
°C. Clear skies, with a few clouds in the afternoon.
Final day of testing this year for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro,
which brought its season to a close at the Jerez de la Frontera
circuit, in southern Spain.
Indeed, it fell to a Spaniard, Marc Gene, to be the final
Ferrari man to drive on a race track this year. The Scuderia’s
official test driver brought the planned programme to a close,
which included development of new components, adaptation of
the car to the new tyres and overall reliability: 99 the number
of laps completed, the quickest in a time of 1.21.012. Unfortunately,
Luca Badoer’s day, which should have featured a similar
programme to his colleague’s, came to a premature end
because of an engine problem: 39 laps for the Italian driver,
the quickest in 1.19.894.
