Luca Montezemolo test drives Ferrari F10

Sure! Ferrari’s qualifying performance at the Spanish Grand Prix at circuit de Catalunya was not what Ferrari or the fans expected. But was it bad enough for Ferrari F1 supremo, Luca de Montezemolo to take matters into his own hands?

Luca de Montezemolo is not short of drivers under contract who can take a Ferrari around a circuit. With Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa, Giancarlo Fisichella, Luca Badoer, Marc Gené and newest addition Jules Bianchi all ready to make that happen.

The Ferrari boss however took matters into his own hands by taking to the virtual Catalunya circuit in Ferrari’s newest (and considered the industry’s best) Formula 1 simulator in Maranello.

Present with Luca, was Ferrari test driver Marc Gene who was said to have given Montezemolo pointers on how to eek out a few extra tenths around the Spanish track.

No times however were revealed, but as long as Monte didn’t put another Ferrari in the sand trap like he did at the Ferrari World Finals in Spain earlier this year, we’re all for it!!!

Ferrari are on an “aggressive” F10 car development plan, but seeing Luca in the simulator brings up scenes from Star Wars where Darth Vader informs his general that “the emperor will personally oversee the construction of the death star” (in this case Ferrari F10) comes to mind.

Forza Ferrari!
