360 with personalised engine...colors... |
|
| |
So you finaly bought your Ferrari. A 360 Modena. And you are very happy with your black beauty. But...you don't like the redheads in the engine. You like yellow more. So...just paint them yellow. It's your car, no?
IMHO it's not an improvement...but everybody may have his own opinion about that! :)

Ferrari with mid-wing |
|
| |
 The Ferrari F2004 had yesterday and today at Imola a new wing. Not the expected frontwing, but a little wing at the engine cover, a so called mid-wing. This system was used in 1995 by McLaren. Later Jordan and Toyota also used it.
Barrichello drove already yesterday with the wing, and today Schumacher also drove with it. Today Ferrari was for the first time competing with other teams at the track. They were not the fastest, but that can also be because the test session was shortly stopped because of snowfall.
The fastest time of the day was set by Ralf Schumacher in his Williams: 1.21.869 (57 laps). Michael set the 2nd time, 1:21.923 in 32 laps. Third was Barrichello (1.22.566, 27 laps) in the old F2003GA and Coulthard was 4th in the McLaren (1.23.198, 40 laps). Toyota was also on the track with 1.25.581 for daMatta and 1.27.001 for Panis.

Rain spoils testing |
|
| |
 Several days the rain continuous in Mugello. Michael Schumacher couldn't work on his testingprogramme. Therefor they decided to let Rubens Barrichello to continue. But also in the past weekend the rain kept falling. Barrichello drove only 22 laps on sunday.
Because of all the rain Ferrari now decided to go to Imola. The testing starts there one day earlier than they wished. Barrichello will probably start today testing at Imola.
