Feb.23 (Ferrari) Third day of testing for Scuderia Ferrari at the Catalunya Circuit, near Barcelona; Felipe Massa continued with the work of car development and data acquisition relating to the behaviour of the F2012, which team-mate Fernando Alonso had begun a couple of days ago.

The Brazilian driver got through all the key elements of the planned programme, completing a total of 84 laps, (nearly all of them on the Pirelli P Zero Hard tyres,) the fastest in a time of 1.24.771. At the end of the session, Felipe carried out a fuel scavenge test and stopped at the end of the pit lane.

The Scuderia continues testing at this circuit tomorrow, with Felipe Massa once again behind the wheel.
