When
will you get back in the car again?
Michael : We've been here in Norway since the middle of
December and will fly back to Switzerland well rested around this
weekend. Ferrari's traditional event that marks the start of the
new season is taking place next week at Madonna di Campiglio and
the week after that I suppose I'll finally take a Formula One car
for a spin around the track again.
Ferrari
will not start the season with a new car, but will go into the first
races with 2004's model. A disadvantage?
Michael : I don't think so. We've been doing that before
and it's never proven to be a disadvantage. We have such a good
car with the F2004, it's the championship winning car after all.
On the contrary, considering all the new rules, I think it's good
that we can fall back on something that's proven to be so reliable.
Could
the new rules turn out to be a problem for Ferrari? After all, the
team was the most dominant one last year. But now the cards are
being shuffled again…
Michael : Yes, but everyone will have to get accustomed
to the new conditions. I think that an experienced, well functioning
and successful team like ours will be able to adjust to the new
circumstances better. We're all set to fight for the title again
this year - and we can hardly wait to start.
