Felipe Massa has today tested a Ferrari F2008 in perfect conditions at the Circuit de Catalunya, driving 400km in the process, in a bid to restore his confidence behind the wheel of an F1 car. Massa said:
“It was a perfect way to optimise my form here in Barcelona. I’m really happy that I had this new opportunity to get behind the wheel of a Formula 1 single-seater on a race track. I can’t wait to sit in the new car and get stuck in.”
Prior to this test, Massa had not driven an F1 car since qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix last season, when he was hit by some debris on the track, which ruled him out for the remainder of the season.

Nice pictures of track and Massa. His eye looks fine. God I hope he is still the same driver.
