Third day of
testing this week for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, working once again
today at the Catalunya Circuit, near Barcelona.
Today, it was
the turn of Rubens Barrichello to make his track debut for this
season. At the wheel of an F2004, the Brazilian driver continued
with the development work on new electronic solutions, new components
and Bridgestone tyres, that Michael Schumacher had started over
the past few days. Barrichello covered a total of 56 laps, the quickest
in 1'17"405.
The Scuderia
continues testing here tomorrow, once again with Barrichello on
track.
