    The first three finishers in this season's Italian Formula 3 championship will test a Ferrari F2008 F1 car at Fiorano next month.

    Mirko Bortolotti, Edoardo Piscopo and Salvatore Cicatelli will each receive a prize test, organised by Ferrari and the ACI-CSAI (Italy's motorsport governing body).

    The aim of the test is to evaluate young Italian drivers, but it follows news last week that Ferrari are working to set up a junior driver programme of their own.

    Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo said: "For every generation, Scuderia Ferrari is a symbol for all those who have a passion for racing. Looking to the youngsters and to the future, I hope this initiative can contribute to the development of young drivers and also to the regeneration of motorsport in our country."

    Gino Macaluso, president of the ACI-CSAI, added: "One of our stated duties is promoting young drivers and I an grateful to Luca di Montezemolo for having shown such enthusiasm in offering a great opportunity to three promising hopes of Italian motorsport.

    "They will not only realise their dream of driving a Ferrari Formula 1 car, but also experience at first hand what it is to work with a team that is the quintessential expression of motor racing at world level."

    Wow!!! Thanks for posting this. Can you imagine such a gift at such an age to drive the F2008. This is very very cool for them. They are probably not sleeping at nite. A gifted Italian driving for Ferrari would be very exciting indeed. :)
