well I said last year that Ferrari were told to "back off"

A lot of people thought I was mad

My Reason for saying it was !

How could a 7 Times world champion suddenly go backwards at 200MPH !!

Today my thoughts were vindicated

Here are the first "test times" at jerez



Leading times (10 January) - Jerez:

1. Michael Schumacher Ferrari 1m 18.020s 82 laps B

2. Ricardo Zonta Toyota 1m 19.348s 66 laps B *

3. Ralf Schumacher Toyota 1m 19.866s 59 laps B *

4. Fernando Alonso Renault 1m 19.929s 61 laps M

5. Luca Badoer Ferrari-Ferrari 1m 20.091s 63 laps B

6. Giancarlo Fisichella Renault-Renault 1m 20.555s 39 laps M *

i had exactly the same thought mav

some one at the top told um to back it off a bit for the good of the sport

don't rekon there'd have been much of a backhander

[doogalman]

TWPD with Respect ! To Ferrari that would be like saying,can JHP build race engines

The rumour machine says Kimi is going to Ferrari in 2007, hence Ronzo signing up Alonso for the woking pushchair factory.

Schuey to retire as champ at the end of the year? or maybe Bridgestone have stopped supplying Fazza with mahogany tyres?!

Must be tempting to go for a nice round 10 titles tho'
