Massa for the first time was behind the wheel at the Mugello circuit and was happy with the performance and the technology of the F60 after completion of 100 kilometers in it. Ferrari retained the constructor's championship in 2008, but F1 is entering a new era with cost-cutting measures and rule amendments set to change the landscape of motor sport.
The F60 would feature the kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) which will introduce the first hybrid concepts into the sport. Ferrari has developed a system in league with electronics partner Magneti Marelli. One of the key elements in the design of this year's cars is expected to be the weight distribution. In the previous years many teams have designed cars that were well under the weight limit, thus allowing the engineers to move ballast around inside the car to get the optimum balance at each race.
Ferrari as of now has won eight Constructors titles in the last 10 seasons, but only six Drivers crowns. The team hopes to be able to continue this extraordinary sequence and both Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen are keen to win the title.
