Ferrari / New Car / Spain
QUOTE
Michael Schumacher is confident Ferrari will have an updated version of the F2004 for next weekend's Spanish GP at Barcelona. Having won the first four races of the season, Ferrari's rivals will be concerned, especially as Schumacher reckons the latest development will improve their performance at the Circuit de Catalunya. "We hope to manage to go to Spain with an updated version of our car, in order to have a better performance compared to the tests carried out before Easter," Schumacher told Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport. "We need to prepare well for Barcelona, because that race appears to be the hardest of the beginning of the season." Schumacher added that Ferrari are conscious of rivals BAR and that he is expecting Jenson Button to push him all the way at Barca. "I wouldn't be surprised if they are (so strong) in Spain too," Schumacher said. "He'll certainly be one to look out for, that's why I'd be very happy to let him have the pole position, and then win the race." bulmersfulltime.ie from setanta |

An updated car? Well Spain is a good place to introduce siginifacant revisions. It's near home and a track that they all know well. |

The other teams must be looking forward to Spain so much, Ferrari must want Schumacher to lap the entire field.

These revisions won't be that big a step forward surely? UPDATED generally means a slightly revised bodywork package or suspension geometry or something like that. Not a new car as such! Stop paniccing!

Quite right Knowlesy. A few revisions. It wouldn't surprise me if some o fhte other teams have a few revisions too - with all the testing mileage they have more data on Barcelona than just about anywhere else - makes it an ideal place to upgrade with a certain amount of confidence.
