Ferrari tested during August ban
Ferrari covered 319kms at Monza on Tuesday despite a total F1 track ban forbidding tests of more than 'shakedown' length. The session, with Luca Badoer and Andrea Bertolini at the wheel of two F2004 cars, was specially sanctioned by the governing FIA.

Badoer and Bertolini were on track to try some of the FIA's proposed aerodynamic tweaks designed to slow F1 down next season. One source said the Italian drivers slipstreamed one another to assess how a diffuser tweak, in particular, aided overtaking.
A Ferrari spokesman, meanwhile, confirmed the FIA had asked the Maranello-based team to provide cars and drivers for the session.
