Badoer Fastest at Barcelona - Morning Session

Italian test driver Luca Badoer moved to the top of the timesheets in the morning session of the final day of testing at the Barcelona circuit.

The Ferrari driver, continuing with his work of assessing different tyre compounds for Japanese tyre manufacturer Bridgestone, posted a quickest time of 1:17.918 after 52 laps, finishing more than half a second ahead of Australian Mark Webber in the Jaguar.

Webber was finally able to enjoy a trouble-free day after two frustrating sessions full of problems where he could only complete a handful of laps.

The Jaguar driver today covered 49 laps in his Cosworth-powered R3C, outpacing his Brazilian teammate Antonio Pizzonia, who ended at the bottom of the times after only 11 laps this morning.

Toyota driver Olivier Panis was again working at the wheel of the interim TF102B, setting the third quickest time ahead of British American Racing's Anthony Davidson and his own Toyota teammate Cristiano da Matta.

Testing will continue in the afternoon.
