Badoer completes shakedown for F2008s

On Thursday Luca Badoer completed the final shakedown for Ferrari's two F2008's that will be used in next week's Australian Grand Prix. The Italian prepared the team's cars at Ferrari's home track Fiorano.

Despite the difficult weather conditions Badoer was able to complete the whole program, while concentrating on a series of pitstops to optimise the team's pitstop.

The Ferrari team will now fly its cars from the Munich airport to Melbourne and should arrive on Monday morning.
