Valencia Test – 02 February 2010
Another positive day for the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro working at the test sessions held on the “Ricardo Tormo” circuit in Cheste near Valencia. Felipe Massa was again the fastest driver on the track.
Lewis Hamilton declared himself happy after his first drive in McLaren’s new car despite lagging behind Felipe Massa’s Ferrari in Valencia testing.
“It’s a different feeling compared to the first lap of the first test day of 2009,” said the 2008 champion.
“It’s a positive feeling. I’ve kept a close eye on the development of this car. I’ve seen it evolve and had input into it which is very exciting.
“I got out smiling. The problems I had [last year] I don’t have in this car.”
Flaws in Hamilton’s 2009 McLaren left him well off the pace last season. Although they were eventually resolved, allowing him to win two races, he was unable to defend his title.
| Driver | Time |
|---|---|
| Massa | 1:11.722 |
| Kobayashi | 1:12.056 |
| Hamilton | 1:12.256 |
| Kubica | 1:12.426 |
| Rosberg | 1:12.899 |
| Barrichello | 1:13.377 |
Alanso will be on the track tomorrow so more excitement to come.
