Should Ferrari be worried tomorrow?
At the Spanish GP on a 2 stop fuel load to Ferrari's 3 stop the qualifying and the difference was 1.3-1.6 seconds, Williams must have learnt that the "heavier" fuel load for race stratergy is not the way to go and hopefully have gone for the lighter fuel load option. (be it 2 or proberbly 3 stops, the same as Ferrari and McLaren).Add that to Ferrari's very fast but extremely "twitchy" F2003GA, should they.....
a)be worried about tomorrows race, after all Rubens has shown twice in 2 weekends (race for Spain and Quali's at Austria) that it can be beaten, plus Michaels car control, although at times brilliant has looked "nervous" b) for the rest of the season, again, after all, McLaren have yet to "debut" their new car and Williams did say that their car will not show signs of being at it's best till the second half of the season. Add that to circuits that will suit the Renault. Should they be worried? Last year and the F2002 looked and was, mightly superior to everything else. The F2003GA should have been all that and more, but at the moment, isn't showing signs of being so. Last edited by Mr V; 17 May 2003 at 16:58. |

tomorrow: All Depends what happens at the start if Kimi or Moytoya (or both) get infront of Micheal then it might cause Ferrari a few Problems
as For the rest of the season: If the new McLaren is better than the one there have all ready then the new Ferrari might meet its Match. |

No, I think they still have plenty in hand over everyone else. McLaren, Williams and Renault will have their moment sof being a serious threat, but, unfortauntely, I think Michael has the overall edge. The car has been on top in 4 of the important 5 sessions, and seems to perform best.

Pretty much everyone has had an off or a wobble over the last couple of days. I don't think Ferrari have anything to worry about. I just hope we have an interesting race. |

I think a win will come easy to Ferrari, but P2 may be a little more difficult. One things for sure though, turn 1 will be interesting!

I wonder if Micheal is going to his infamous chop at the start which he normally does when a championship rival is next to him on the front row.

That'll provide plenty of room for JPM to nip past on the outside

Michael´s car looks so much superior compared to the rest of the grid (Barrichello´s included..., or is Rubens on a different fuel stategy ??...)
Michael lost a little bit of control at the beginning, but got Pole at the end !, he has a very good car. Should Ferrari be worried tomorrow ?. Nope (I guess). |

Ferrari should do well tomorrow but yes, they should be worried for the rest of the season.

I dont really think they'll be to worried..Michael is on pole after another "Michael lap"...but Ferrari have always had the pace in race trim as well..Its going to be a close race tomorrow for sure and the first corner will certainly be interesting because the Williams and possibly the Mclaren will be running lighter than Ferrari which could help them get of the line...

Interesting statement of fact there. Mclaren and Williams "will be running lighter". How do you know that?!

Im pretty sure Williams will stop before Ferrari..they're known to struggle with long stints because they`re still using their tyres harder than the others..plus performance wise they`re still not up there with Mclaren let alone Ferrari..so I believe there is still a question mark on their genuine pace in a grand prix.

The fact that Michael has the championship leader beside him will have him worried, he's got to win the start or he could be in a bit of trouble.

And it will all be Michael's fault, irrespective of what actually happens...

Nah no worries for Shumi, maybe if he didn't have pole. Since he does he will scamper off with a conciderable gap between him and the rest. Now Barrichello may have some work cut out for him.

Doesn't it seem sad that drivers like Fisichella, Coultard, Barrichello, and Ralf all have secure seats in F1, despite having had race winning cars for many more seasons than Jacques, yet failing to chalk up as many wins as he (let alone a WDC) that it is Jacques who doesn't have a drive in F1??? Sad indeed.

Worried about the opposition, but confident nonetheless.
