Gene's heart is (Ferrari) red
04 May 2005 |
Today, F1 is nearly as popular as football in Spain, Ferrari test driver Marc Gene marvelled. But the Spaniard, who switched this year from Williams, said he would not - unlike more than 100,000 in Barcelona on Sunday - root for countryman Fernando Alonso. "Oh no!" he laughed. "My heart is red now!"
Gene, 31, said he is enjoying working for the Prancing Horse. "Information flows inside the Ferrari team," he reported. "It is something I have never experienced before."
Gene's test colleague Luca Badoer, meanwhile, continued to run at Fiorano (Italy) on Tuesday. The Italian worked on tyres and prepared the three Spanish-bound F2005 race cars.
