Marc Gene (38) will continue his role as test driver for Ferrari in 2013. It will be his ninth season as driver of the Italian team Ferrari after signing in 2005.

”I’m very happy to continue working with Ferrari. My goal is to help Ferrari and Fernando Alonso to get a car capable of winning the title.” Said Marc Gené.

Although the role of test drivers in Formula 1 is not as important as it was a few years ago, is remarkable how Gene could obtain the confidence of a great team like Ferrari is after several years of good work. His functions won’t be on track, but in the simulator. In addition, the Catalan driver should continue taking care of business with sponsors, and his role as commentator of racing in the Spanish channel Antena 3
