Kimi Raikkonen set the fastest pace on wet track (yes... he's becoming more of a Rain Master now lol) on Tuesday 1/5/07 testing with 1 min 30 secs (10 seconds slower than the day before, on dry track). Meanwhile Fernando Alonso was stuck on 12th place, practically the last. However Felipe Massa and Lewis Hamilton, the other title contenders, were nowhere in sight.
Introducing the new-and-improved F2007
*new, slimmer sidepods everybody!!!*.
*new, slimmer sidepods everybody!!!*.
"The Italian sports daily La Gazzetta dello Sport said the updated sidepods of the F2007 steered by Kimi Raikkonen was a 'more significant' update than the bridge-like element on the McLaren wing."
(The Prancing Horse.co.uk).
By the way, that bridge thing on the McLaren car is hideous. It might be good, aerodynamically speaking (as the team claimed it to be), but from the aesthetic point of view, it sucks. Not because I don't like the team and everything, but it just sucks.
GREAT news for Tifosis all over the globe!!! Mr Ross 'Big' Brawn is going to decide his future in F1 with Scuderia Ferrari this July. He has confirmed that Ferrari is on top of his priority list. This means he's not going to abandon Ferrari if he decides to continue his F1 career after the 1 year sabbatical. But he's not sure if he's going to take his old position or not. There's a possibility he will replace Jean Todt as the team principal, since Todt is at the moment rather busy with the road car division. That is my own analysis though, don't take it as an official statement. But I hope Todt still stays, he and Brawn make a very solid team. Too bad Rory Byrne n Herr Schumi left the house already. Ah well, Ferrari is still and always be the dream team. (Hamilton, I can assure you're up next! Join 'The Force'!).
