First day of testing this week for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, working from today at theCatalunya Circuit, near Barcelona.
The F2007 did not make a very positive debut on the new layout of the Catalan track: onits installation lap, Felipe Massa’s car developed an electrical problem, which provoked asmall fire that led to a long stop in the pits to effect repairs. Kimi Raikkonen’s car alsosuffered a different electrical problem, which meant he too spent a long while in thegarage. Then, around lunchtime, a shower hit the track, which only started to dry after 3 inthe afternoon.
Today’s technical programme was planned to include endurance testing, set-up work anddevelopment of new aerodynamic components.
The summary of the day in figures is as follows: 25 laps for Kimi (best time 1.23.215) and29 for Felipe (1.23.077. )
