Unlike past years, Ferrari is this year making no secret of its objective: winning the world championship next November! Easier said than done. Winter testing did not give brilliant results. But that's only to be expected with a new car and a new engine. Having said that, the Scuderia has proved in the past that it has the ability to adapt to problems rapidly. What remains to be seen is the behaviour of Michael Schumacher, the villain of Jerez. The double world champion has a debt to pay back to us all. He will be under enormous pressure. We'll know soon enough. |
