Jerez - Ferrari - Test Day 1It was the first day of testing this week for Scuderia Ferrari, working as from today at the Jerez de la Frontera circuit in the extreme south of Spain. The Maranello team's official test driver Luca Badoer took to the track, working on two main
areas.
The morning was dedicated to comparing various different aerodynamic solutions. In the afternoon, Badoer ran on slick tyres in preparation for the 2009 season, with consequent modifications to the aerodynamics on the F2008 in order to try and replicate the levels of downforce that will be required starting next year.
In total, Badoer completed 69 laps, the quickest in a time of 1.20.697, which gave Ferrari teh third-best run of the day.
"We completed our planned programme," commented Badoer before leaving the circuit.
"This morning it was important to go deeply into some technical elements to understand what happened last Sunday in Hockenheim. We picked up a lot of data, and that will continue over the next few days when we also test some solutions for the forthcoming races."
Kimi Raikkonen will be on track for the Scuderia tomorrow.
