'PROMOTIONAL' F60 RUN FOR BADOER
Monday 17th August 2009


Luca Badoer will have two days to familiarise himself with Ferrari's F60 as he puts the car through its paces as part of a promotional video.

Badoer will make his Ferrari debut at Valencia this weekend, replacing the injured Felipe Massa. The Italian, though, has little experience in the Scuderia's 2009 challenger due to the ban on in-season testing.

As such Ferrari have organised a promotional outing for the 38-year-old that will allow him to adjust to the car.

Badoer, though, may not exceed the 100km per day limit imposed on the teams.

The team released a statement saying that on Monday 'the Scuderia will take up its work after a two-week break, which had been agreed with the other teams.

'Over the next three days the team will concentrate on the preparations for the races in Spain and Belgium, which will be held on the last two weekends in August.

'Next to Kimi Raikkonen, Luca Badoer will start into the races, debuting as an official Scuderia driver.

'Tomorrow (Monday) and Tuesday, Luca will be part of a video shooting for promotional purposes behind the F60's wheel at the Fiorano race track.'

What's the title of this promotional video then?

How to lie, cheat and steal without having to be secretive about it.

[vaptin]

damn, now that is very decitful - at least with MS they asked for permission.

It's not deceitful, nor is it cheating. These kinds of runs were agreed as allowed from day 1, hence the mandatory 100KM limit.

[EwanM]

Again another rule which contains nothing but loopholes.

I am sure that Shuey would of been doing the promo run tomorrow if he was driving. I am sure it is so Shell can have an advert with with the current race driver in. It is all about keeping sponsors happy. I can not believe I typed that with a straight face.

Pretty much.

[Jabberwocky]

Fiorano Circuit

3,021 metres (1.9 mi) long.

Average F1 lap speed is over 160 km/h (99 mph)

So he is only going to be able to do 33 laps, and 38 minutes driving.

hey if he is wearing his own helmet then we know the promo is totally BS, for any sponsor would want Kimi's or Felipe's lid in their marketing scheme.

The casual fan probably wouldn't notice.
