The 248 F1 stopped by a mechanical problem
Third day of testing this week for Scuderia Ferrari, working once again today at the Sakhir circuit, in Bahrain.
Today`s schedule was centred on tyre testing, set-up work and electronics for both drivers. Felipe Massa, at the wheel of an F2004, fitted with a regulated power version of the V10 engine completed 92 laps, the quickest in 1`30"029.

Driving a 248 F1, Michael Schumacher did 37 laps, the quickest in 1`32"229: because of a mechanical problem, the German had to stop running at the end of the morning session.

Testing continues at this circuit tomorrow, once again with Schumacher and Massa on track.
