From the Pulpit
What happens if the Ferrari F2005 is indeed only half a second a lap faster than the F2004M? What if World Champion Michael Schumacher finds himself, for the remaining 17 Grands Prix of the year, running behind Christian Klien (or Vitantonio Liuzzi)? F1 Racing's Editor in Chief Matt Bishop takes a light-hearted look into the future, and it's not necessarily all fictional...
When the new Ferrari F2005 makes its debut in Bahrain this weekend, a hell of a lot depends on its success. A hell of a lot.
If it turns out to be quick, and if its Bridgestone tyres allow it to translate that pace into lap-time, then - forgetting for a moment the ever-worsening atmosphere of ultra-political back-stabbing that has pervaded both the Melbourne and the Kuala Lumpur paddocks this year and looks equally certain to envelope Bahrain this week - Formula One's band of highly paid navel-gazers will continue to go about their business much as before.
