This is the first outing for the Ferrari and it was freezing if you haven't noticed

Compare when it gets warmer guys

Badoer deserves his place as a test driver

Still nearly 2 secs slower than "The Great Schumaker", and Badoer is not a slow pilot!!

Have Ferrari got it wrong?

Clearly the F2005 isn't fast out of the box although FerrariFan and F1greyhound may disagree

Badoer isn't slow, at least not on this track, he probably can do a lap blind !!

I wouldn't call it getting it wrong, perhaps just ran out of ideas

This weekend you'll see Ferrari struggle

JV, without knowing the conditions, for badoer to be that far off the pace in a car due on the track shortly, at least suggests that there is something amiss

I am actually starting to wonder if Ferrari are really having problems and not just due to Bridgestone.

These times are indeed slow

I am not bagging Ferrari nor am I a Ferrari hater (just don't like some of their policies) but with a car that may race in Bahrain don't you think they'll be pushing the car hard and trying to find its limits ?

Barrichello showed with the interim car that the bridgestones are not too bad,
to be honest Graham, it has me really puzzled. All the top teams have developed lemons, maybe its ferraris turn?

Cant discount Ferrari yet!
F2004M is competitive n fast too.Rubens did well from 11th to 2nd without much effort i think.
Badoer times are slow,but v cant be sure of the fuel load and knowing ferrari they would never revealed their true performance of a new car in testing.
