Morning session
It was quite a difficult start for the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, as of today working for the next three days at the Circuit de Catalunya during the last pre-Championship test session.
Fernando Alonso had to stop on the track during his first series of laps, due to a problem with the car’s electronics. After the necessary reparations, which required a long procedure by the technicians, the Spanish driver went back onto the track just before the lunch break, in time to complete around another ten laps. For the first time the Ferrari is the car with the least miles run, with a mere 22 laps: This means that in the afternoon the team has to recover. Fernando’s fastest lap was driven in a time of 1.24.580, today’s fifth fastest time so far, behind the quickest in 1.21.487 driven by Webber (Red Bull).
