While developing new aerodynamic parts for the F2007, Badoer was almost a full second down on the fastest time of the day, set by Toyota's Ralf Schumacher.

Ferrari test driver Luca Badoer, could only manage the fifth fastest time of the day, during multi-team testing at the Silverstone circuit in the United Kingdom. While developing new aerodynamic parts for the F2007, Badoer was almost a full second down on the fastest time of the day, set by Toyota's Ralf Schumacher.

The Italian tester, completed 57 laps, the quickest with a time of 1'23.770. Ralf Schumacher's pace should not be worrying to the Tifosi, though the fact that Pedro de la Rosa in the McLaren was just behind Ralf and still far in front of the Ferrari should be.

Ferrari need to push hard to fight for the top step on the podium. Right now they are simply not as strong as McLaren and can not battle for victory. If anyone can do this though, it is Ferrrari.

Testing continues here on the 20th of June.
