Well, Yet another $1.5 Million dollar Ferrari Enzo suffers at the hands of an unskilled driver who has no business driving such a wonderful machine. Just a note to all you people who have one of the remaining Enzos ( Only 400 were made), Please stop letting unskilled drivers behind the wheel. It’s a bit like giving the Mona Lisa to your kid as a colouring book. It’s just not a good Idea. See the video below and try not to cry.

It seems that Ferrari is concerned that Raikkonen’s engine was running too hot approaching the end of the last GP. It seems the cooling system was leaking as well.

If Ferrari chooses to change the engine they would suffer a grid penalty. The question is, if they choose not to change the engine will it last the duration of another race with the performance it needs.

Ferrari has already said that reliability could be an issue with their car and I guess this is the sort of balance every team has to work on. Push it too hard and it just might break.

I guess we will have to wait until the next race to see what they choose to do. This might end up working in Mclaren’s favour.

An interesting article over at SPEEDtv.com where McLaren boss Ron Dennis is suggesting that the new Ferrari may have some illegal aerodynamic features that are outside the rules. Specifically he is claiming that the new Ferrari has a mechanism that allows the front of the floor to drop at speed which would give it an advantage.

Ron Dennis says that this would be clearly outside the rules. It would seem that people noticed a rather complex arrangement with regards to the floor mounts on the Ferrari and this has caused some people to become concerned.

Ferrari says if people have a complaint the should talk to the FIA.

I can’t wait to see how this turns out.

Well, Here we are, an offical sponsor of the Honda F1 team.

Ok, so it’s only a very very small part of the paint job, but if you ever get close enough you will find us right there, On the front wing of Jenson Button’s car.

I’ve always wanted to sponsor an F1 car..

It looks like Bridgestone will be marking the soft compound used in Melbourne this week but not with a pretty red stripe. Bridgestone has elected to go with a “White Dot” that will be 3 centimetres in diameter.

Bridgestone is also pointing out that this may change after the Melbourne race.

I’d really rather see a bold red stripe instead of a little white dot and while they are at it how about some nice chrome hub caps!
