As we revealed last week, the Scuderia Ferrari Formula One team were back in action on Wednesday, the Italian team getting an early stat to their 2006 testing program as their rivals take a well deserved break for another month at least.

Over at the Vallelunga circuit, near Rome where fog greeted the team first up in the morning before temperatures rose to provide a warm clear day, new 2006 driver Felipe Massa began a development program with the V8 engine, at the wheel of an F2004.

The Brazilian driver ran on a new version of the Roman circuit, covering a total of 46 laps and his best time on the day was a 1.14.366.

Testing at this circuit continue on Thursday again with Felipe Massa on track
