    I thought the low speed, lots of tight corner tracks did not work well for Ferrari because of the long wheel base. The high speed tracks in Monza and Canada were no good for Ferrari, so what is the long wheel base good for? Middle of the pack speed tracks?

    well, Fuji has a combo of a long straight ( longest on the current calender now? ) and twisty, tight mid section. they say that Interlagos will suit the F2007 very well. i just hope everything will go allright for the next 3 races.

    It looks like Ferrari can not compete with McLaren in the straights or in tight corners. Which is very strange to me, usually I would think it is one or the other, hence my question.

    McRerraris is a good one. I've also seen McCheaters. I can't beleive this really happened to Mclaren, but oh well...

    I think the F2007's 100mm longer wheelbase than the 248 is stupid. The 248 was great, an extremely fast car. Beautiful too. It sucks that Ferrari went to the zero-keel design and screwed up the car. The paint looks worse too. I want the old Red back. On top of that, the car is harder to suit to most tracks.
