When will the F2005 debut? - 8th March 18:47pm GMT

With all the talk on the web of Ferrari bringing forward the debut of the F2005 it leaves the question on just how they are going to implement it.

Michael Schumacher will have a new engine for the Malaysian GP and because of this under the new ruling they won't be allowed to change it until after the Bahraini GP. So if Ferrari bring the F2005 to Bahrain it technically have to start from the back of the grid because it would have the new 2005 engine which is designed to fit in the F2005.

So Ferrari are left with the following options:
1) Delay the debut of the F2005 until Spain (round 5)
2) Give Barrichello the F2005 for Bahrain and Michael sticks with the F2004M
3) Run the F2005 in Bahrain and face the penalty
4) Retire at the Malaysian GP so they can fit a new engine for Bahrain

Rubens won't have any trouble if they decide to run the F2005 in Bahrain. Whether he retires or finishes the race, Ferrari are entitled to change the engine for Bahrain.

The F2005 won't be tested this week as its left to Gene and Badoer to run the F2004M.
