Badoer feeling positive after F60 run


Despite the in-season test ban, Ferrari’s Luca Badoer got the chance to spend two days in the F60 at the Fiorano test track this week, as he took part in the shooting of a promotional video on Monday and Tuesday. With Badoer set to make his race debut for the Italian team at this weekend’s European Grand Prix, after agreeing to fill in for the injured Felipe Massa, he was pleased to spend some time in the car.

Very disappointing that Schumie is not racing .

Season calendar.

Don't think it was hey. That McLaren with it's upgrades seems like a pretty fast car. Their KERS works a charm on the grid too!

He is slow on the track and speeds in the pit lane?

 

[sand_man]

haha Badoer is a danger to society, where the hell did Ferrari find him? Could they not have found something a little more talented? This guy is so out of his depth it's dangerous...

 

[[OUPA]MrNutz]

even on practice 3 he is last and 2 seconds behind kimi.

qualifying should be funny

 

[cfvh600]

badoer slowest in q1. What a joke.

So far so good
Hope the tires hold out...

 

[reddevilandy10]

Why dont they give Takuma Sato the Ferrari?

Because he'll blow all the engines they have left... lol.

Ja, Badoer's a new part of the Valencia circuit. A mobile chicane.

 

[Willie Trombone]

Can't blame Badoer for that - these third drivers don't get any driving in. I doubt he will last race distance myself...

That's scary. Maybe it'll rain bucket loads and he ends up winning tomorrow. Wonder what's the odds on that
