Maranello, 2 September – Work in preparation for the Italian Grand Prix is continuing unabated. Yesterday, Felipe Massa was in Maranello for a series of meetings with his engineers, as well as a session on the simulator. Meanwhile, today at Vairano, Giancarlo Fisichella got one of the rare opportunities this season to drive the F10, even if it was just down a straight.

It was probably not the most exciting day for the Roman driver, currently competing in the LMS with the AF Corse team, but it was very useful for the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro engineers, who collected a raft of data to go through with a fine tooth comb, which is useful not only for the next Grand Prix, but also as a basis for analysing the reasons why things did not work 100% as they should have done last weekend in Belgium.
