Day 5 of testing - Mugello - 3rd March 18:34pm GMT

Circuit: Autodromo del Mugello (5.245 km - 2.760 km short course)
Driver: Michael Schumacher
Car: 248 F1
Weather: air temperature 6/10°C, track temperature 5/9 °C. Rain.

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

Another day when bad weather obstructed proceedings for the team. Constant rain meant that the track conditions were not suitable for the planned programme. At the wheel of a 248 F1, Michael Schumacher managed just 36 laps, with a best time of 1'30"389.

At the same time, at the Fiorano track, Luca Badoer carried out a shakedown of two of the three cars that the Scuderia will have at its disposal for the first GP of the season, in Bahrain. The third car will be given its shakedown this coming Monday, again with Badoer driving at Fiorano.
