    I guess the real question is DID HE SPIN :)

    Felipe Massa brought Ferrari's three-day test at the Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello to a close.

    From Crash.net/Eurosport

    Unlike on days 1 and 2 however, when Luca Badoer and Kimi Raikkonen were on track, conditions were not dry and sunny, and adverse weather affected the test with rain showers blowing in overnight.

    The Brazilian though made the best of the situation and focused on finding the optimum set-up on the car, including on a wet track. He notched up 98 tours in total - over 500 kilometres - his best lap a 1 minute 23.618 seconds.

    "This session has been very useful," commented Massa at the end of the test. "Kimi and [test driver] Luca were able to run in the dry, while I encountered the wet and, given that there's a chance we could experience these conditions in the coming races, that is no bad thing.

    "We have done a good job and feel ready for the forthcoming Singapore Grand Prix. The end of the championship will be very close and it will be vital not to make any mistakes anywhere."
