Ferrari F1

Anybody else notice that Ferrari's early season pace and development has dropped since the "flexible floor" regulation change ? Here's another interesting rumor (from grandprix.com):

"We hear on the grapevine that about a month ago Ferrari suffered a failure of its rolling road system in the Maranello windtunnel. The rolling roads in the modern F1 windtunnels are made from a steel belt, which circulates at around 180mph. If a rolling road breaks, the damage can be considerable as lumps of metal fly around at 180mph. The word is that this may have been what happened. And that Ferrari has been in trouble ever since."

I believe Kimi hasn't lost as much pace as everyone thinks - they just haven't been able to develop the car for his style....

(ps. Excellent post number - ironic it's about Ferrari, tho !)
