| New
Ferrari to debut in Bahrain |
|
|
|
Ferrari
will race its new F2005 car for the first time in
Bahrain next week as the reigning world champions
look to improve on a disappointing start to the Formula
One season. |
"In
the next race we will have the new car on the track,"
said Jean Todt. "The tests we have had at Mugello
this week, where our drivers took the car out for
the first time, have confirmed its potential."
|
Rubens
Barrichello and Michael Schumacher both tested the
F2005 at Mugello this week and both racers said they
were impressed with the new car describing it as a
‘good step forward.'
|
"We
will have two F2005, one for each driver, while the
for the spare, we will use one of the F2004 M used
in Australia and Malaysia," Todt confirmed. "The
contrasting results of the first two races gave us
a positive incentive. Along with Bridgestone, we decided
to accelerate the development programme and we believe
that the combination of various new elements –
car and tyre – will allow us to move back on
the attack after two Grand Prix on the defensive."
|
"I
have to say I am very happy with the way the team
and all our partners have reacted to try and quickly
return to our true level of competitiveness,"
Todt concluded.
