Raikkonen gets first taste of renewed Francorchamps Circuit
Third and final day of testing this week for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, working again today at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit. Today, it was Kimi Raikkonen's turn to take to the track at the wheel of the F2007 to continue the work programme that begun on Tuesday and centred mainly on finding the best set-up for the car and the development of new components. The day started on a track still damp from overnight rain. From late morning onwards it was possible to run on dry weather tyres.
The day in figures is as follows: 69 laps completed, the quickest in a time of 1.47.042.
Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro will be back on track for a demonstration at the Mugello Circuit on Sunday 15 July at a race meeting which features the Italian Ferrari Challenge Pirelli Trophy series and cars competing in the DTM series. Luca Badoer will be at the wheel of a 248 F1. Luca will then be back on track at Fiorano on Tuesday 17 July, to shake down the F2007 cars that will be used in the European Grand Prix, at the Nurburgring on Sunday 22 July.
