.. We start the F1 blog with some speculation on the team that ended 2007 the strongest - Scuderia Ferrari.
This is the week when all the car launches for 2007 explode on us. There are going to be F1 car first looks, testing news, analysts's opinions, photo galleries - the works. The second car to be launched will be Ferrari's F1 2007 challenger. Only problem is, there may be no car on display.
What the...?
Yes, a Ferrari spokesman said that the launch will happen, but there is no guarantee that the Ferrari F1 2007 car will be there. How do you have a F1 launch without the formula one car that the drivers are gonna drive? Usually, we would get to see them and the entire management and the engineering team grinning inanely around a gleaming formula one car. The interesting thing is, the spokesman did not say that the car will not be there either. Basically, he wants all of us to go a little mad.
Anyway, speculation among Ferrari-watchers is that the 2007 F1 Ferrari will have a completely stunning bodywork, and that it is still not complete. Hence, the confusion. For all you know, there will be a Ferrari F1 car there, but the final car that will make it for the final testing might be different. So we may get to see a new Ferrari F1 car alright at the 2007 launch at Maranello, and we may see the same car running around Fiorano tracks, and the car that debuts on the race day will have a complete bodywork overhaul.
That is one way of looking at it.
Or you may just get to see a few stock photographs from Ferrari. The participants and invitees at the launch will see the 2007 car, but no photographers are allowed in, and so we will see no photos either.
That's it for now. We shall keep you posted on more F1 news daily.Labels: Ferrari, Formula One |
