Ferrari launch: Drivers in love with car
Reigning world champion Michael Schumacher and his Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barrichello have priased the new F2003-GA, and have predicted that the Italian marque will once again win the titles on offer
Speaking at the launch of the F2003-GA in Maranello today (Friday), the drivers were united in their praise for the new car, the successor to the ultra-successful F2002, which won 14 races last season.
"I think we have made a wonderful car and I hope that it will be fast," said Schumacher. "We've been doing our best for years now so it's no surprise to say that I want to win the championship. I'm in love with the car, the team and the fans."
Barrichello was equally full of praise for the team's new contender: "I can't stop looking at it," he said. "It is so beautiful and gorgeous and we know that gorgeous cars are winners. I'm convinced that this car will bring the title to Maranello again."
The new car will make its on-track debut in testing at Fiorano next week. The team has refused to confirm when it will make its Grand Prix debut, but has targeted the San Marino Grand Prix.
