Overview
- Sergio Pérez completed 99 laps over two days without major incident at Imola, recording a best time of 1:18.82.
- The session used a two‑year‑old Ferrari SF‑23 repainted black to train Cadillac personnel before the team’s 2026 entry.
- Around 50 staff supported the run—about 30 from Ferrari and 20 from Cadillac—under team leadership including Graeme Lowdon and Peter Crolla.
- Lowdon said the goal was to drill procedures rather than chase performance, stressing, “we are not testing the car, we are testing the people.”
- Valtteri Bottas did not participate due to his Mercedes contract; Ferrari will supply power units for 2026–2027 as GM targets its own engine by 2028.
