Ferrari to decide on Badeor

Ferrari will decide within the next three days whether Luca Badoer will drive for the team at the Italian Grand Prix.

Ferrari will decide within the next three days whether Luca Badoer will drive for the team at the Italian Grand Prix.

Badoer’s two performances since stepping in as replacement for the recuperating Felipe Massa have been so miserable he has earned the cruel nickname ’Look How Bad You Are’.

At the European Grand Prix in Valencia and for yesterday’s race in Belgium, Badoer qualified at the back of the grid and was last of those that finished.

The team’s tester of 12 years has been an embarrassment, and it is hard to imagine Ferrari keeping faith with the 38-year-old for the most important race of their year.

It is almost certain Ferrari will turn to Force India’s Giancarlo Fisichella who, after starting from pole, yesterday gave the team their first points in Formula One by finishing a superb second to Kimi Raikkonen.

Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicali refused to give anything away, but said: “First of all, Luca has to cheer with us because he is part of the team.”
