GreenBkk Formula 1 | Ferrari duo back at work

Ferrari duo back at work


Felipe Massa returned to work this week, spending two days at Maranello in preparation for pre-season testing.

On Monday, the Brazilian, who finished sixth in the 2010 Drivers' Championship, tackled a session in the simulator before meeting with Aldo Costa and Nikolas Tombazis.

The technical director and chief designer spent time bringing Massa up to date with the latest developments on Ferrari's 2011 car.

The following day, he visited the Assembly Area to work with engineers and mechanics on his seating in the cockpit, after which he had a long discussion with his race engineer, Rob Smedley.

Massa's visit to Maranello followed on from Fernando Alonso's as the Spaniard had his seat fitting late last week.

The double World Champion also had a look at the 288 chassis, which will be used for the pre-season test sessions, before chatting with Costa, Tombazis and his race engineer, Andrea Stella.

Ferrari will launch their 2011 challenger at Maranello on 28 January.
