Rubens always has the luck doesn't he :rolleyes:

Yup - I do think they use Rubens as the test car - fit him with the experimental bits and if they break - oh well..It's Rubens..

I still find it funny that when Irvine had a chance of the workd championship - they brought Michael back from rehab early and shafted Irvine. Possibly cos he wasn't the driver they were paying $25 million to win the championship.

I would have laughed my ass off if Irvine had won it though. :D Imagine the press conference.. :D First Ferrari champion isn't the guy they were/are paying the big money purely to win the championship. :D

Schumacher and Trulli fighting wheel to wheel - I think that Ferrari is lighter than some of the cars around it.

Williams are going well.
Raikonnen is moving up well.

M.Schumacher is getting close to Alonso - under the new regs the cars suck when you get close to another car though.

About 0.6s in it.
 
Schumacher has really gone out of his way...spund off by the looks of it - and he's really slow.

Looks like the f2005 was the wrong car to bring.
