You seem intent on giving my other motives than I have. As I wrote I think that the driver needing a new car, should race the F2004M. If you want to mesh my intent you need to ask some more specific questions.
I think that Ferrari should be carefull not fuelling the fire of "preference" that some many dislike. I think this to be the case early in the season, but were the same scenario to occur with 2/3rds of the season run I think that whoever is best placed in the WDC battle should have all resources made available to them.
The cincept of a clear and designated number 1 driver in my opinion is not a problem, and have been excuted by most championship winning teams the last 30 seasons.
I think that Michael Schumacher should refuse the car, if the case were to happen, and race the F2004M.
Sounds reasonable
although I would be angry
Hey julian, I reckon this Castle Man from Betelgeuze who likes the Beatles and Hufflepuffs is cool. I know you told me not to listen to strangers but no really he's a cool Michael supporter. Just as blind as I am

He'll drive into the back of Kimi as payback
Didn't Kimi drive into the back of a Jag a couple of years ago

From Ross Brawn:
We had a problem with the gearbox on Rubens? car and due to the lack of parts, we
will have to repair it for tomorrow. Michael?s car ran well and he and the engineers made good
progress during the sessions. The new car seems nice and consistent and is doing everything we
expected from it. Therefore, that is cause for satisfaction. We have a lot of tyre data to study
tonight, comparing lap times and wear rates, so that we can make our tyre choice for the rest of the
weekend. Everything seems to be going well with the car, including its cooling, which is pleasing
given the high ambient temperatures here.

What Ferrari are doing continues to amaze me.

This is Ferrari talking and not Minardi. The team with the biggest budget is rushing a car that not only there is no spare car for but not even a spare gearbox.
They are desparate. Problem is reading that statement, they are not confident with the new car either. (full of seems and likes!)
I just hope the problem on Barrichello's car was just bad luck and not that he has a car that is made up of half tested parts

Yes fails consistently. Nothing wrong with that

Having sifted thru the various team quotes trying to discover any elements of truth, I'd suggest that ( if nobody punts them both off ) the Williams cars will again be coming on strong in the closing stages

1st Saturday Practice Session about to start.
Alex Wurz was fastest on Friday setting a stunning time of 1:30.695. Alonso was second and Red Bull's test driver Liuzzi was third

A slow start again with only the 2 Minardis on the track.
The teams wait for other teams to clean the track from the sand!

Ferrari will be hopeful they'll be in front of a Michelin team. Jordan have no chance!
