When would Ferrari unveil the F2005 this season? Nobody had an answer to that question at Sepang today. Ferrari8217;s technical chief Ross Brawn didn8217;t throw much light on the issue when he said, 8216;8216;probably Bahrain8217;8217;. But that too is a turnaround for Ferrari who had earlier announced that it would be in Spain 8212; the fifth round of the 2005 World Championship.
Brawn8217;s rider to the already confusing statement was: 8216;8216;A lot would depend this weekend and lot on next week.8217;8217;
The Englishman reveals that testing by both Schumacher and Brichello would begin next week, and a decision would be taken in the middle of the week, if or not to take the car to Bahrain.
He further adds that Michael was quite eager about the car and made his point by revealing that during his stay in Thailand, which Ferrari chose to prepare for Malaysia, Michael rang him at 2.00 am enquiring about how the tests were shaping up.
Meanwhile, Ferrari, on Friday decided to run with the same engine as they did in Melbourne despite having the option of changing one after Schumi collided with Nick Heidefeld. As Brawn put it 8216;8216;changing it would make it more difficult in our quest of understanding if the old car/engine is hampering success.8217;8217;
