Schumacher at Champs Elysees |
|
| |
On Sunday the 5th December Michael Schumacher drove his F2004 on the Champs Elysees. Travelling down from the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Concorde was a parade with the Formula 1 world championship-winning F2004, an Enzo, a 575 Maranello, a 612 Scaglietti, a 360 Spider and an F430.
The event was a tribute to the 2004 Formula 1 World Champions. The occasion also marks the sealing of an agreement between the French Ministry of Solidarity, Health and Family and the ICM (Institut de Cerveau et la Moelle epiniere), which numbers Jean Todt and Michael Schumacher amongst its patrons.
After travelling around the Place de la Concorde, the Ferraris headed for the Ministry offices, where they meet the Minister, Philippe Douste-Blazy, the Director General of Public Assistance, Rose-Marie Van Lerberghe and the ICM President, Professor Gerard Saillant.
The drivers: Michael Schumacher was at the wheel of the car that took him to his seventh World title, Ferrari managing Director Jean Todt was on board of the Enzo. Former Ferrari driver Rene Arnoux was behind the wheel of the 575 Maranello and alongside him will be film director Luc Besson, also an ICM patron. Another former Ferrari driver, Patrick Tambay drove the 612 Scaglietti, while Felipe Massa, the Scuderia's test driver in 2003, had the controls of the company's new 8 cylinder car, the F430.
Tnx Alex! :) |

ForzaRossa has since today new headers. The 575 GTC will now be varied with a F430, 550 Superamerica and a 512 BB/LM. 
You want an exclusive Ferrari (as if not every Ferrari is exclusive!) but you also have two kids who are growing up fast... well, perhaps this is the answer: the 456 GT Venice Shooting Brake.
Five Ferraris from the famous collection of the Dutchman John Bosch, one of the founders of Barron Racing, are up for sale at the Ferrari Gstaad Auction. At the auction, held by the Simon Kidston and Bonhams Europe Team, there are several special Ferraris for sale. Under the lots are the following:
The Argeninian Carlos Reutemann was this morning the guest at the Fiorano track. There the 62 year old former Ferrari driver in the 70s, drove in the F2004. Reutemann raced for Ferrari from 1976 to 1978 and won the Constructor Championship in 1977 and five F1 races.
Lately the difficulties between Sauber and Ferrari just pile up. In the last seasons Ferrari and Sauber were like four hands on one belly. They shared engine and gearbox, tires and even the testdriver (Felipe Massa). So for Ferrari that ment a lot of important test data.
