Default Be afraid...

The F2008 is looking to be scary fast...

Combined with a driver like Kimi, could Ferrari have another dominant season a la 2002 and 2004? I love Ferrari, but I hope they don't, frankly -- the "show" was great last year, and I'd love to see LH in the hunt again.

Somebody spy on these guys!

I have been watching all this news very, very closely. I will admit though, the McLaren hasalso been doing well, but still Ferrari really seems to be showing what it has to offer.

The Ferrari driver {Kimi} set a blistering pace during the three days of the test, beating last year's pole position time by over two seconds as the Italian squad continued making progress with their new F2008.




More than 2 whole seconds...

Remember there is no penalty for mechanical failures (engine, transmission, etc.) in testing. I wouldn't be surprised if that time went up during qualifying.

^ Of course that is a very good point! But, the flip side of the coin is Ferrari has indeed had a long stretch of incredible reliability, so it might not be cranked up that much more than normal.

I hope so...and I will add that FM is not too shabby of a driver either so it could be another 2002/2004.

They are fast right now because McLaren hasn't put the " " on the ECUs yet. You Italians out there know what that means right? LOL.
