zato sto smo izuzetno jak tim i ne komplikujemo stvari..zato sto su svi protiv nas i hoce da nas skinu pa mijenjaju pravila svako malo..zato sto je Ferrari Ferrari.
one reason is Bridgestone has improved their hot ambient temperture
performance quite considerably,wheras Michelin Runners complaint of front tyre graining ...
Possibly michelin gambled on higher ambient temperatures which just did not happen.
Michael gambled on lower temps and won....whereas Rubens speculated on higher ones and was only fourth....
Tyres are the key to most of this.
Of course the rest of the package needs to be very good,the crew preparing and servicing the car the car and the engine ...in that order.
Because you have to maximise your potential to the point,a thing well mastered by Ferrari ,whereas Williams and Mercedes take longer to get on top of their setup,very often beginning way off ....
others seem to struggle to really improve the car over the weekend .....and that is people and their creativity as well as their experience and of course the possibilities to change to what you need.
Hi All.
a good answer for that is by changing the topic for
how Michael makes ferraris so Quick!!!!!
cause take a look at that, everytime JPM was catching schumachers times, there schumi with a stunning lap to escape away, and please dont blame Rubens of being blocking, that is insane, and the time that rubens was not there, and Juan pablo got Michael on his view with nobody in the middle of them why JPM does not take over Schumacher, the reason, cause michael takes out the best from that car, the thing that rubino doesnt make....
JPM stop crying ...and remenber that if juan pablo can takes the crown driving whit williams he'll will be very bussy triying to doit with mclaren netx year...

Tester Marc Gene was able to run on the circuit (Bahrain) over a few laps and it must have given the team as insight into how the Michelin tyres work on the hot tarmac.
'I am not going to get into that,' said Ferrari boss Jean Todt.
The Frenchman's team runs on Japanese-made Bridgestone tyres.
'All I'm going to say is this,' he continued.
'Imagine what our competitors would have said if we'd done the same ...'

I think the tyres did a great deal for ferrari this weekend but in the end it comes down to the car its self. Although i'm not a ferrari fan I think they did a good job on the new car this winter. And if you look at the the simple facts: ferrari testing over 80000 kilometers against some 20000 kilometers for the renault team. To me thats the main reason why ferrari is still so dominant. But I am sure that we will see some change in the future. Williams and Renault especially will catch up with ferrari either this season or early in 2005.
The Ferrari is not a revolutionary car as such, it is the evolution of what was already a very good car and this, along with good drivers has given it the edge. There are some very revolutionary ideas being tried out there and I would expect some of the circuits to come to suit some other cars more. I would put money on the Ferrari stranglehold being broken within the next two or three races. Now is not a time for panic in the other teams, it will just take patience and a bit more work.
By the way, I do think that the low track temperatures so far have given a slightly wrong impression of the Ferrari dominance. However they would still have won I believe.
it is simply integration of all factors available to the max.They have some real good simulations going ,how else would you come to a weekend posting top times instantly...and how would you dare bringing just 3 setup possibilities for the dampers to each track...and endup with such a good setup time after time...
good preparation at home is key ..as well as the no error job ,when it counts.
Nothing as dangerous as a winning team, at the moment the momentum is with the ferrari team, but after a period of succes some members will be looking for new challanges, others for the next step in their carreer. Also the motivation will slip.. These are natural mental processes that will always come back. Look at the Mclaren dominance the years before 1991, williams more or less after that. (part of the current ferrari team was coming together at Benetton in this period already)
I think the Ferrari succes starts with great management, they where able to create a great technical team wich is very stable and routined as well.
