Another
day passes in Barcelona and another look at the time sheets show
Ferrari finished 8th and 12th. Not all bad news, they were quicker
than yesterday's time set by Michael.
However
there seems to be alot of concerned people at Bridgestone especially
as today Giancarlo Fisichella was over 1.5secs quicker than Rubens.
His best time was set on the 19th lap out of a 20 lap stint which
suggests the Michelins are running quite consistantly.
Michael
climbed into the cockpit of the F2004 M at 12:38 and ran a complete
race distance which didn't finish till 14:27. Each lap within 0.5sec
of each other. On the 66th lap of his stint Michael set his fastest
time of the day.
Rubens
Barrichello on the other hand still said there was alot of work
to be done: “We've still got lots of tyre work to do, and
although at the moment Renault and McLaren look very strong it is
too early to say. We
do not have the final specifications [of both tyres and car] so
we can not judge where we are, but I can say we've got a lot of
work to do.”
