Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro: Circuit de Jerez - Day 4


Circuit: Circuito Permanente de Velocidad, Jerez de la Frontera – 4.428 km

Driver: Felipe Massa

Car: Ferrari F10

Weather: air temperature 8/11 °C, track temperature 10/12 °C. Overcast, light rain at the start of the morning, with a wet track, then dry.

Fourth and final day of testing this week, for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro and nine other teams at the Jerez circuit, in Andalusia.

The day began with bad weather, as intermittent drizzle and high humidity levels made for a wet track. Then, after a few hours, the racing line gradually dried out, so that slick tyres could be used.

Felipe Massa was again on duty for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro. Having run with both types of rain tyre, the Brazilian did a long run which took up the rest of the morning. In the afternoon, Felipe concentrated on a comparison of the various types of tyre brought here by Bridgestone. A total of 160 laps was completed, with the quickest being a 1.21.485.

The third test session of the season takes place from 17 to 20 February, again at this track. The Scuderia’s programme has Massa driving for the first two days, then Alonso for the final two.
