Mirko Bortolotti, Salvatore Cicatelli, and Edoardo Piscopo, three Italian Formula 3 drivers, had the joy of driving an F1 single-seater from Scuderia Ferrari on Wednesday, November 26. The team had promised them this opportunity in light of their performances in the Italian championship.<\/p>\n
Mirko Bortolotti, Edoardo Piscopo, and Salvatore Cicatelli were in action on the Fiorano circuit at the wheel of an F2008.<\/p>\n
Bortolotti, 18, was the fastest of the three, with a best time under the minute mark at 59.111 with 40 laps completed. This time is the fastest recorded at Fiorano this year.<\/p>\n
Piscopo finished second in 1:00.336 with 29 laps completed, while 18-year-old Cicatelli set a best lap of 1:01.243 with 33 laps on the counter.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I think I made a small mistake on my best lap at the hairpin. In the end, a few tenths slipped away, but the time remains excellent. It was a unique experience and an immense joy, \u00bb declared Bortolotti in the columns of the Gazzetta dello Sport.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I had some difficulties in the morning on the wet track, but on the dry, I immediately had confidence in the car. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Luca Baldiserri, Ferrari’s sporting director, followed the performances of the trio: \u00ab These boys amazed and surprised me. What is most extraordinary is that they didn’t even make a mistake. They were very fast and showed enormous potential. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
