Ferrari Tests With 3 Drivers At 3 Different Tracks

DCX

Rubens Barrichello was once again on track at the Silverstone Circuit, continuing his testing schedule from yesterday. This ment tyre development and car setup work for the Brazilian. Barrichello completed 73 laps, the fastest being a 1'20.156. Rubens was 11th fastest on the day ahead of only one driver, Red Bull's new recruit, American Scott Speed.

Circuit: Monza
Driver: Marc Gene
Car: F2005

Marc Gene was in action today for his third and final day at the Autodromo di Monza. Like his previous two days at the circuit, Gene focused on tyre and aerodynamic development. The Spanish test driver ran a total of 63 laps, the quickest in 1'21.428. Gene set the fastest time of the day, ahead of two BAR cars and one Sauber. >

Circuit: Fiorano
Driver: Luca Badoer
Car: F2005

Ferrari's Luca Badoer was back on track after a one day brake. This time Badoer was at the Fiorano Circuit, rather than Silverstone. The Italian test driver worked on car setup for the Canadian Grand Prix, completing 27 laps. Badoer's fastest time was a 0'59.622

This ends Ferrari's extensive testing schedule for this week. The Tifosi are now eager to see whether Ferrari can fight for a podium and maybe even a win at the Canadian Grand Prix. Ferrari has historically done very well at the Circuit du Gilles Villeneuve, but so has Williams. This is shaping up to be a most excellent race.
