Day 3 of testing - Mugello - 1st March 18:21pm GMT

Circuit: Autodromo del Mugello (5.245 km - 2.760 km short course)
Drivers: Michael Schumacher and Felipe Massa
Cars: 248 F1
Weather: air temperature 3/7 °C, track temperature 5/10 °C. Overcast with rain from mid-afternoon onwards.

Third day of testing this week for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, working again today at the Mugello circuit.

As was the case last Monday, the weather badly affected the Scuderia's work. After rain and sleet fell over night, track conditions this morning were far from ideal and the low temperatures did not improve the situation. Then, from mid-afternoon, light rain fell at the circuit, which brought the test session to an early close. Up to that point, Schumacher had covered 17 laps (best time 1'23"564) and Massa had done 31 (the quickest in 1'27"314.)

The Scuderia continues testing at Mugello tomorrow, with Michael Schumacher at the wheel of the 248 F1.
