Ferrari are out of the blocks already I noticed. Schuey a second faster than anyone else while testing at Imola.

Yep Ferrari have been sandbagging again jimbo!.....Australia is never a race to judge the outcome of the season.....I think Renault will be the achilles heel to Ferrari and Williams though......and Maclaren are definitely lying about their cars too!....I wonder what sort of bribe was made to Kimi to say the car wouldnt last the distance of the first race....come to think of it DC isn't saying much either.
