The three day test session for young drivers of the Ferrari Driver Academy ended on Wednesday.

The testing was done on Ferrari's 2008 car, the F2008, at the Fiorano circuit, by five test drivers.

Jules Bianchi, Mirko Bortolotti and Daniel Zampieri did the duties on Monday, which was followed by physical and psycho-attitudinal excercises for these drivers on Tuesday.

Bianchi was preparing for the next round of GP2 race which takes place over the weekend of 27 June at the Valencia street circuit.

Speaking after the tests, Bianchi sounded confident, “At Ferrari they believe a lot in me. Naturally, I want to win, especially as opportunities like this don’t come along twice.”

Meanwhile Mirko Bortolotti was also preparing for his race at Valencia too, for the GP which hosts the third round of the GP3 Series. He said, “I will tackle the next event with maximum effort and of course the aim is to win.”

Daniel Zampieri, who is racing the coming weekend at Magny Cours, in the World Series, said “I want to put the Brno race behind me, with the aim of getting back to being a frontrunner.” He had a disappointing result at the last round in the Czech Republic.

On Wednesday, the final day of testing, Brandon Maisano and Raffaele Marciello took to the wheels of F2008, both of whom are competing in the ACI-CSAI Formula Abarth championship, and faring well.
