F1 team complete private 'test' with star driver

Ferrari have carried out a Formula 1 'test' with one of their junior drivers at their private circuit in Fiorano.

The Scuderia have made a decent start to 2024, and trail first-placed Red Bull by 52 points in the constructors' standings.

In recent days, the Italian team have used their Fiorano track for a multitude of tests, including new anti-spray measures developed by the FIA hoped to improve wet weather racing.

Ferrari have also run their much-anticipated upgrade package, scheduled to be introduced at the upcoming Imola Grand Prix.

The Scuderia have also used their track time to give laps to development driver Arthur Leclerc, younger brother of current Ferrari ace Charles.

In 2023, the 23-year-old competed in Formula 2 with DAMS, scoring a single podium, and this season he has raced in the European Le Mans series for Panis Racing.
