    Nice, thanks for the picture. I knew there were new aero-packages in the works that Ferrari won't reveal until the final test session before the season starts. I think the car looks great, and I hope it help MS regain the crown this year.

    It would look even better if he'd manage to keep the car on the actual track.

    Yes, apparently Ferrari asked the photographers not to publish any pics from Bahrain testing. I believe this is the first image that has been published at the official site. I'm still waiting to see images from Mugello from today's testing, but I haven't seen any yet.

    I think the 248 will be a lot better than people here are giving it credit for. Remember all the other teams are picking Ferrari to come back this season.

    as somebody mentioned, the diff between both cars' aero setups. plus, the F2004 massa is using is more towards tyre testing, while on the 248, there's aero tests, reliability tests, etc. but, having said all that, i'm still not sure why they fitted a restricted V10 into the car. it's not to say they plan to use it or anything this season, but maybe, just for lap time comparisons. btws, gemm, thats so far the best ever pic of the 248 i've ever seen. i guess ferrari will also be testing the new and latest aero parts at mugello. thats why i guess they opted for private tests. just around 2 weeks left...and i'm getting damn fired up. carol, post some pics of this year's imola ok? lets just hope there'll be a repeat of last year's, with schumi in front this year..

    What a great looking car, no matter what the rule changes, the F1 Ferrari's seem to be the best looking cars on the grid.

    So, they have adopted the Renault 2-tier front wing setup as well. Love these pictures with glowing red brakes.

    As long as he can challenge for the lead i am happy. There is nothing like it when he gets a sniff of a win! Lap after lap new fastest laps-it is like watching ballet. I hope to see him stamp his authority down in the wet again too.Its a long time since we saw the regenmeister in action, fog light flashing. The season cannot start too soon enough and i don't think it will be too long before kimi signs for the scuderia as a massa replacement if he hasn't already that is?

    They've also moved away from the small low wing under the main front wing in favor of the "big scoop" that Toyota's been running. I also see a small winglet on the nose a-la Toyota as well.

    haha, thanx carol i have some pics of last year's malaysian GP as well, can;t really upload it as my attachements are almost maxed up. i will be going for this year's malaysian GP as well. there's been a massive drop in ticket pricing for the malaysian gp. btws, from those pics of the 248, it's really really beautiful. glad they finally dished the ugly looking 'chins' under the front wing. oh yeah, for those who wants info on ticket prices for the malaysian gp www.malaysiangp.com.my

    Bad weather continues to plague testing of the Ferrari at Mugello. MS missed his own best time by 7 seconds. Questions of "desperation" are being raised by the media.

    I guess we'll all see in a weeks time how good the Ferrari really is.
