Second day of testing for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, working once again today at theJerez de la Frontera circuit in the south of Spain.

After yesterday’s inclement weather, today’s test was run under a cloudless sky.

Kimi Raikkonen continued with investigating various set-ups on the F2008, fitted with slick tyres and reduced aerodynamic downforce, as well as experimenting with a few new components aimed at next season, all this while continuing with an engine endurance programme. Kimi completed a total of 89 laps, the quickest in a time of 1.19.334.

Halfway through the afternoon, Felipe Massa arrived at the circuit and immediately got down to work. The Brazilian, driving an identical car to his team-mate, completed 27 laps before the end of the session, which means he is well prepared for the rest of this test. Felipe’s best time was a 1.20.490.

Testing goes on tomorrow at this circuit: on track for the world champion team will once again be Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa.
