If my memory serves me correctly, Ferrari started 2004 with the new car

In 2003 they started with the 'old car' and that season turned to be close

Be optimistic

Date:2004-01-11:
...2004 looks set to see Ferrari start the new season with a new car after the last two years starting with the previous season's chassis.The F2003-GA did not appear until mid-2003 after the team had a rocky start, but even then it was not plain sailing. Schumacher took his sixth world title by just two points from Kimi Raikkonen, who spent the whole of 2003 racing a year-old McLaren...
(from motorsport.com)
Be optimistic!!!
Mclaren for the title!!!

2025

julian,

you expect Michael to stack it, the Renault's to overheat, the McLarens to blow, ditto for BAR, you're dissapointed with Williams

Perhaps you think Coulthard will make it or perhaps even lil bro

No flip flopping please

That's what happens when I try to make sense of testing,Graham

And I won't be surprised if DC finishes in the top 6

But you never considered testing

You just go against your so called 'experts', against testing and just convince yourself that it will be another doom and gloom season.
Read that Paul Stoddart thinks the same. He must've been reading your posts

Or I his

DC is consistent yes, but 6th is way too high in the BULL, he barely finished 6th in a Mclaren (or you believe testing now )

I see, I thought you were trying to make sense of the testing times

Now making sense of Stoddart, that's hard work!

(You know he is saying Ferrari will dominate so they feel good and let him race )

ouch, I dare you to say that to his face

Talking about Munardi in a Ferrari topic... I like it:
Minardi is as good in the track as ferrari with the fair play and common sense:
(GMM) According to Jean Todt, Ferrari deserves a bigger slice of Formula One's cash pie.
The Prancing Horse's managing director, amid rivals' frustration of an inferior new commercial deal, said Ferrari is 'special' and more 'tied' to grand prix racing than others.
''(We) helped create what F1 is,'' said the Frenchman.
''It's like in a movie where a big star gets paid more because the producer knows he will sell it all over the world.
''Ferrari is a star and wants to be paid like a star.''
He seems not to understand that the performance of an actor does not depend on how much money he puts on his make-up ( plastic surgery) and clothes... but in F1 money is a key factor to make a winner car... Ferrari sucks!!!! Todt sucks!!!!! to receive more money is not competition, that's CHEAT!!! Kimi and montoya would make MShumierda eat dust in equal cars!

Don't you think so?

Some how I thought the French had a tad more to do with starting F1, and Mecedes Benz etc., Todt doesn't like a level playing field obviously
