Badoer...what a waste of an F1 drive. Would have been better to run 1 car and save the engine/trans/brakes.

2 seconds slower in a Ferrari ? And that "not raced in an F1 car" excuse is BS to, there have been 2 other drivers who raced for the first time in F1 cars (Alguersuari, Grosjean) and did MUCH better than Badoer. He is supposed to be a test driver, how can he be this slow ? Whats the point of developing the car with a driver that can get nowhere close to its limits ?

Alguersuari and Grosjean have been driving similar car to F1 for the whole season as far as I know, Badoer hasn't driven anything (apparently excluding 1 race of some GT-type of car which is completely different), there's a big difference, but yeah, his pace was too slow, everyone including himself knew he would be slow, but not that slow.
