HAHAAhHAH I'm SO sorry to tell you that is MORe than 2 secs!!!!! :

Fiorano
Best Lap Time in 2004: 55.999 Michael Schumacher (Ferrari)
Best Lap Time in 2005: 57.733 Luca Badoer (Ferrari F2005) - 16 Mar
Best Lap Time in 2005 (05 spec): 57.733 Luca Badoer (Ferrari F2005) - 16 Mar

Maybe this will soon change, but it that way it is till now.

N.B:in my original post i say "Fiorano".

If they do a quick time it will mean that they are quick at that track under those conditions. It won't mean much for Bahrain as it will be hot over there.

Ferrari are not putting the blame on Bridgestone alone. Also, the F2005 is NOT ready, it is scheduled for the 5th race, now they want to bring it in the 3rd race. Do you think they can suddenly find a month of development just because they stuggled badly in Malaysia ?
If they do bring it to Bahrain, it will be prematurely and they risk reliability/performance issues. Of course if they think the F2004M won't score points (and it only did score in Malaysia due to Kimi/Webber/Fisichella problems), then they'd be better off taking the risk with the F2005

I don't think they will start it til its reliable and, hopefully for them, quicker. Fiat will not be impressed if it is an unreliable car!

Very cruel my friend, very cruel!!!

But I will accept your words -> at the end of the 'race season'<-> Until then ... *do not count your 'Reno Chickens' before they hatch*.

Say Karthikeyan drives for Ferrari next year (after they finish 10th and look for pay drivers), will they have TATA on the Ferrari
