Third and final day of testing this week for Scuderia Ferrari
Marlboro, working once again today at the Paul Ricard –
HTTT circuit at Le Castellet, in the South of France.
As yesterday, Michael Schumacher and Felipe Massa continued
with Bridgestone tyre development, with both men at the wheel
of a 248 F1. In contrast to the two previous days, the two
Ferrari men ran on a different layout of the circuit, the
2A-SC, chosen to simulate the characteristics of the circuits
which will be used over the next few weeks. Apart from tyres,
the two drivers also worked on development of aerodynamic
and mechanical solutions.
The day in figures is as follows: 117 laps for Felipe (best
time 1’06”470) and 147 for Michael (1’06”517.)
With testing over, the Scuderia will be back on track on Tuesday
25th July at Fiorano, for the shakedown of the cars that will
be used in the German Grand Prix, scheduled to take place
at the Hockenheim circuit on 30th July: Luca Badoer will be
at the wheel.
