22-Feb-08: Massa Fastest at Ferrari Only Test
Today is Friday, the 22nd February and this is F1 Minute.
Lots of headlines for you today, starting with Ferrari. They finished up a day of testing in Barcelona, having the track all to themselves. They ran an entire race weekend simulation, including practice and qualifying. Massa was out on track and finished the day saying that Ferrari are right where they want to be.
Jarno Trulli obviously agrees with him. Having previously said Ferrari may as well have won the championship already, and then saying Toyota would be competitive enough to fight near the top, he’s now saying that it will be hard for anyone other than McLaren or Ferrari to get on the podium this year.
Williams have enjoyed a good run at testing recently, and technical chief Sam Michael says it’s left the team with a “good feeling” but he doesn’t want to get over-confident and predict how the season will pan out for them.
And finally, Nelson Piquet Sr won’t be available to watch his son’s debut Grand Prix in Australia next month. Piquet Jr said his father will be away on business.
That’s all for this week, have a great weekend and meet me back here on Monday for another F1 Minute.
