Today marked the end of winter testing for Scuderia Ferrari
Marlboro in preparation for the start of the World Championship,
which gets underway on Sunday 16th March in Melbourne.
Today both drivers – Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen
– were out on track running different programmes. Felipe
was working on set-up, using up the remaining kilometres of
engine life in his car: he completed 49 laps, the quickest
in a time of 1.22.286. Kimi had a race simulation on his agenda,
which he completed despite several interruptions caused by
red flags and one precautionary stop to carry out a check
on the car at the start of the afternoon. By the end of the
day, Kimi had done 80 laps, the quickest in 1.21.933.
The Scuderia will next be on track on 6th March at Fiorano,
where Luca Badoer will carry out the shakedown of the cars
that will be used in the Australian Grand Prix.
