Felipe Massa drives Ferrari F2007
As part of his preparation for his return to Formula 1 racing in 2010 after missing the latter half of the 2009 season due to a head injury, Felipe Massa has driven the Ferrari F2007 at Fiorano and Mugello, yesterday recording 30 laps and today 60. He said:
“Although I was behind the wheel of a completely different car compared to the one for next year, I had a perfect feeling, which gives me hope for the upcoming season. I was very quick immediately and nothing seems to have changed in my driving style compared to before the accident. I want to thank Ferrari for this present, which, together with my son, makes this Christmas even more special.”
