 The key figures of the Ferrari F1 team, Brawn, Byrne, Todt and Martinelli, have no intention to leave the team. Even when their contract ends, in 2006, they want to stay.
"As long their is passion, we will stay. One day we will stop, but that won't be soon", says Brawn. "It will hurt very much when we stop. And...we really like to win, so why stop?"
And Ferrari does win! The constructor won five Worldtitles in a row!! (13 in total!) |

Ow My Lord... |

 AAAAAAHHHHHH......okay, this was my first reaction when I saw this "Testarossa", tuned by Koenig, at the site from Dennigcars. They call it an original Koenig Competition TR. With a top speed more than 350 km/h, Electric Recaro seats, Heated seats, Air conditioning, Roll cage, CD-Changer, Race suspension, Race brakes, Sports exhaust, etc.
I just call it an ugly Testarossa. I don't even want to call it a Ferrari anymore...ow what did they do to her. It's a shame!! A real shame! The car, from 1988, has driven 38.000 km and is now for sale, for 144.500 USD, somewhere in Germany...but why would you want it, if you can buy a proper, nice, good looking Testarossa for less than one third of that price...

Saw this at the FerrariForum. They found it on another forum etc etc. So I really don't know who took the pic, but what a crash this is! 
Okay...what's this? Want to drive a Ferrari F40 (LM) and want to drive a bike...ok I can understand that...but, this??? This is just weird!! 
The Italian Minister of Defence, Antonio Martino, has challenged Michael Schumacher, together with Ferrari, for a duel. He wants a kind of dragrace between a Ferrari F1 and a Fighter jet.
Michael Schumacher wrote history today. He is the first F1 driver that has six (!!!) WorldChampion titles! After a very exciting race at Suzuka, Japan, he earned the final point (he became eight) that he needed (when Raikonnen should win the race and Schumacher had nothing, Raikonnen would have been the champion).
...and then there was rain! Just at the end of the saturday qualifying. Especially the last eight drivers had it hard on the wet track. Therefor Kimi Raikonnen stands now on the eight place, but worse, Michael Schumacher didn't came any further than the fourtheenth time. And that's a very bad scenario for tomorrow!
After the Friday free practice was the Renault of Trulli on pole. Later he was also the quickest in the first qualifying. Ralf Schumacher was in his Williams just behind him. Michael Schumacher did well...he took the third place.
The story goes that the Swiss F1 team Sauber will start next year in the F2003GA, the car in which Schumacher and Barrichello are driving this year for Ferrari. Rumours are going in the paddock that Ferrari has sold the chassis of this car to Sauber. Sauber already had a deal about the Ferrari engine of this year. And now there is a possibility that they bought the whole package!
Computer producer Acer Inc. is an official supplier to Scuderia Ferrari. They will release a new laptop in mid october, it will be bright red and have the yellow S.F. emblem incl. the prancing horse...just look at the picture! The Acer has a AMDs Mobile-Athlon-XP-2500+-Prozessor, 512 MByte GDR RAM, hide themselves a 60-GByte-Festplatte, a Radeon-9200-Grafik with 128 MByte memory as well as a DVD burner, which support plus and minus formats. Price...aproximately 2,500 USdollar.
