Maranello, 3rd September 2009 - Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro announces that
it has appointed Giancarlo Fisichella to drive car number 3 from now to
the end of the 2009 season.
“We have chosen Fisichella because we can expect him to make a valuable
contribution in this final part of the season,” commented Stefano
Domenicali. “Giancarlo has shown, throughout his long career, that he is
fast and competitive and we are therefore proud to be able to run an
Italian driver in our home race. We wish to thank Luca Badoer for the team
spirit he demonstrated in these circumstances: it is a shame he was unable
to show his true worth in these last two races, tackled under conditions
which anyone would have found difficult.”
