Ferrari Continue Testing at Jerez


It was a very positive penultimate day of testing in Jerez for Scuderia Ferrari, working, like the other ten F1 teams, at the third pre-season test session and with the start of the F1 World Championship now in sight.

Fernando Alonso started his fourth day of testing with his new team just after 9am, taking over from Felipe Massa who had driven during the first two days of the test, and the Spaniard stopped driving around 20 minutes before the official end of the training session. During the day he drove 132 laps and got a good impression of the car.

"I’m satisfied because we could drive many miles on the dry," Alonso commented after the day's running was completed. "The results are positive, because we got to know the new car better. Also my place in the team is improving from day to day, as is my feeling for the F10. We can confirm that step by step we’re arriving at 100 percent."
