Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro has chosen to line up with the F2002 car for the forthcoming San Marino Grand Prix. Today, on a Fiorano track made wet by the rain, Luca Badoer carried out a shakedown test of one of the three cars which will be used at Imola. Badoer also continued with development work on the F2003-GA.

“We know that the F2002 is still very competitive, as demonstrated in the first three races of this season,” stated Managing Director of the Gestione Sportiva, Jean Todt. “The F2003-GA represents a step forward compared to the car which won the titles last year, but still has some “running-in” problems. Our aim now, is to give it its race debut in the Spanish Grand Prix. There is no need to take unnecessary risks, especially as the F2002 is capable of winning. And that is exactly our aim and the spirit in which we prepare to race in front of our fans at Imola.”
