Today (Friday), was the third and final day of testing for Ferrari at the Paul Ricard - HTTT circuit at Le Castellet, in the South of France.
Michael Schumacher and Felipe Massa continued with the Bridgestone tyre development programme for the forthcoming races in Germany, Hungary and Turkey.
In contrast to the two previous days the Italian team used a different track configuration, 2A-SC, which was chosen to simulate the characteristics of the circuits which will be used over the next few weeks.
Apart from tyres, the two drivers also worked on development of aerodynamic and mechanical solutions.
With testing concluded, Ferrari will be back on track on Tuesday 25th July at Fiorano, for the shakedown of the cars that will be used in the German Grand Prix, with Luca Badoer at the wheel.
