NEWS STORY

When Luca Badoer took to the track at Fiorano today (Wednesday), it marked Ferrari's thirtieth day of testing since the season began, meaning that the Italian outfit has now reached the 'limit' agreed by its nine rivals.

Despite talk of the test agreement breaking down, the teams appear to be intent on sticking to it, however as the season reaches a climax one or two are almost certain to 'break'.

Ross Brawn recently admitted that Ferrari has no intention of sticking to its own proposal of a 15,000 kilometre limit and will continue to test as and when it wishes.

The stats below include all tests carried out since the beginning of the current season up to, and including, today's session at Fiorano.

They do not include mileage completed at airfields, or other locations, nor do they include the data for Ferrari's test at Fiorano on March 26 when the team failed to issue any details, despite numerous requests.

As previously reported, McLaren is in action at Elvington Airfield, near York, on Wednesday, the team transporter spotted en-route to the airfield by two Pitpass readers.
