Alonso fastest in Ferrari

The first pre-season test is in the books and New Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso came out on top.

the two-time world champion topped the time sheets for the three-day test with an effort of 1 minute 11.470 seconds, just under three-tenths quicker than teammate Felipe Massa.

The pair of Ferrari drivers were the only two drivers to dip below the 1 minute 12 second mark.

Whether this is the scarlet car's true pace is unknown as much cat and mouse goes on in testing.

But it is important to note that Ferrari abandoned upgrades to their car in mid-2009 to concentrate on the 2010 challenger, something that might give them an advantage out of the box.
