Ferrari in for a heavy test schedule - 16th January 15:28pm GMT |
| Ferrari
will run a massive testing schedule before launching their all-new
F2005 machine in an attempt to stay ahead of the rest of the F1 field.
Ferrari have two test drivers to maximise the mileage on their two private test tracks this year and lead man Luca Badoer admitted: "When I first saw the [size of the] test programme I was horrified." The champions are aiming to find the advantage through their tyres in the early races and are the only top team to run with Bridgestone rubber, the Japanese company. Badoer and fellow tester Marc Gene, whom Ferrari snatched from rivals Williams at the end of last year, will do the bulk of the testing with world champion Michael Schumacher and his team-mate, Rubens Barrichello, also helping out. Ferrari team boss Jean Todt is confident that his designers will create another reliable car even if it arrives five races after the start of the 19-race season. There
plan for the next month is listed below. Fiorano & Vallelunga
dates are kept close to there chest. FEBRUARY |
