The unmistakable noise of the Formula 1 power unit confirmed an intense day of activity on the Fiorano circuit. An SF21 (single-seater used by the Scuderia last season) took to the track in the morning with Antonio Giovinazzi at the wheel.
A test planned to allow the Ferrari tester to find the automatisms behind the wheel of a Formula 1 single-seater in view of participation in the FP1 session of the Italian Grand Prix with the Haas.

Giovinazzi has completed the planned tests with the lunch break, and will continue his work on the simulator, to become familiar with the Haas, a ground-effect single-seater that he will drive in Monza for the first time.

In the afternoon it was Robert Shwartzman who took to the track, continuing his apprenticeship on last year’s single-seater, a car he already had the opportunity to drive in mid-July at the Mugello circuit.
Shwartzman’s is also a test of preparation in view of the two FP1 sessions that await the Israeli driver at the wheel of the F1-75.
Ferrari has not yet announced in which Grands Prix we will see Shwartzman on the track in the Friday morning session, but according to rumors they could be in Suzuka and Austin, weekends in which the FP2 session will go from the usual 60 to 90 minutes, as requested by Pirelli to test the compounds 2023.
The extension of the afternoon session would allow the starting driver who will sell the car to Shwartzman in FP1, to have thirty more minutes of practice in FP2.
