2013 Barcelona: Ferrari Formula One F1 Saturday Test Recap
Driver: Felipe Massa Car: Ferrari F138 Weather: air temperature 9/16°C, track temperature 12/23 °C. Sunny. Laps/Kms completed: 94/438 Best time: 1:21.266
Sunshine and good weather provided the backdrop to Scuderia Ferrari’s penultimate day of testing at the Catalunya Circuit. This was also the final appearance at testing for Felipe Massa, who will be back behind the wheel of the F138 at the Australian Grand Prix in about two weeks time.
In the morning, the team got through all its planned programme, centred mainly on evaluating some aerodynamic components over short distances, featuring constant speed runs. Felipe also began a Pirelli tyre comparison, which continued through into the afternoon. After the lunch break, the job list included assessing various set-up changes on the car and some full speed pit stop simulations, including out laps and, for the first time, the team also tried the super soft compound. With less than half an hour remaining, a problem with the left front upright meant that Felipe had to stop the car on track, thus bringing a positive day to a slightly early end.
Testing continues at this circuit tomorrow, the final day, with Fernando Alonso at the wheel.
