Italian driver Luca Badoer began on Tuesday the Ferrari team's preparations for next week's British Grand Prix.

Badoer, at the wheel of the latest F2001 chassis manufactured at the Maranello factory, completed a total of 68 laps around the Mugello track in Italy, concentrating on electronics developing as well as set-up work. The test driver's best lap was 1:24.710.

Badoer will continue working for Ferrari on Wednesday, but the Italian driver will test at the Fiorano circuit.
