The FIA confirmed last week that there has been an amendment to the rules on in-season testing in Formula 1.

On the final day of this test session at Jerez, on Feb 13 Ferrari had racked up over 700km in testing, and overall had put the car through a rigorous program which the car has thus far done flawlessly and without any reliability problems. However, the same question still remains. Is the new Ferrari F10 single-seater faster than the rest?

After yet another wet start of a testing session, Ferrari focused on understanding how the car behaves under changing conditions as the track dried. With the no refueling rule in place, the weight of the car will change significantly as the race goes on, with the cars finishing the grand prix on fumes.

02.10.10 Jerez, Spain

It was a rather uneventful soggy morning in Jerez, Spain as the Forumla One teams took to the slick wet track.

Jean Todt has stated that he has no intention at this time to seek further terms as president of the FIA.

Fernando Alonso will drive the Ferrari F10 on the first two days of the four day session, before handing over the reins to Felipe Massa. Weather however may not be favorable.

After a lackluster 2009 season, it’s easy to get carried away in thinking that Ferrari are back on top. Ferrari drivers Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso occupied the top of the time sheets at the first pre-season testing event in Valencia, Spain. The scuderia’s cars were the only single seater’s lapping in the 1 minute 11 second range with the rest of the drivers failing to break the 1 minute 12 second barrier. A great start to the F1 pre-season, but team principal Stefano Domenicali may now face the toughest job in preparing the team for the 2010 championship, and that is keeping the prancing horse’s feet firmly on the ground.

For all intents and purposes, the top of the time sheets in each of the sessions was clearly dominated by Ferrari.

With only a few laps under his belt in a Ferrari, former two time F1 Champion Fernando Alonso has not only clocked the fastest time of this morning’s session, but fastest of all thus far with a 1.11.470.

New regulations for the 2010 Formula One season have been approved by the F1 commission. The two new regulations are concerning tires and the points system.

Day two of testing in Cheste, Spain sees Ferrari and Felipe leading the way again after day 2. After a series of long runs and short stints with both heavy and lighter fuel loads and scrubbed tires, the Brazilian set the fastest time of the day during the morning session with a time of 1m11.722s.
