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 ?

I've been saying these backup driver regs are idiotic given the lack of testing now. It was no surprise he was much slower than everyone else. The two other drivers have been racing in other series, developing there skill.
