Great GP in France, with nice victory of RENAULT and MICHELIN. We're now missing a French driver ;-) Fortunatly, Schumi finished just 3rd, nice too. Begining of a coming back ?
Judging by the way he was shaking his head as he stepped out of the car, the depressed mood he showed in the press conference and Rubens' comments on what a disaster of a race it was... I think they realise now it's all over. 40 driver's championship points are up for grabs within the space of July alone. The testing and preparation for these races is over. There is no time to do any more serious development until after July, by which time it will be too late. They've turned up at the first of four, and they're still much slower than Renault and McLaren.
Micheal got laqpped by Alonso in Budapest in 2003 and Luca lowered the boom on the team. This time it is an entierly different deal the car is worse than what Ferrari had with the F2003-GA. Renault and McLaren are so far ahead of the competition it will be a 2 team race for the championship. Ferrari only finished 3rd due to micheal talent and shear drive to never give up. if it was any other driver Ferrari would have been further back and perhaps out of the points.
