    It looks like they filmed it with an old magnetic tape. I thought Ferrari might have the green to go digital. I still love that sound though.

    Not content with having a new car to talk about, it seems this is the week for Ferrari's management to have yet another moan about something:

    autosport.com - F1 News: Todt says new ECU benefits McLaren

    In direct contravention to what their own experts say...

    autosport.com - F1 News: Ferrari expect no problems with ECU

    Oh, and as a bonus:

    autosport.com - F1 News: Ferrari: Hamilton may struggle with no TC

    Neither Raikkonen or Massa has vast experience of racing F1 without TC, it being reintroduced for Raikkonen's 5th F1 race, and 11 months before Massa started in 2002. Furthermore, none of the drivers will have experience of 2008 cars on 2008 tyres without traction control.

    There is only one outfit in F1 that routinely pursues a tactic of publicly denigrating other teams and drivers, inexplicably they also seem to be one of the most popular.
    Thanks for all the fish

    I think "they haven't been caught stealing other teams info" would be more accurate.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.
    Visca Catalunya!

    It's a good job neither of you work in the press, because you'd both have just committed libel.

    Ferrari's PR would take you though; they like people making baseless, fabricated derisory remarks about other teams wherever possible.

    As would McLaren after their misleading press release regarding the Renault spy hearing.
