Could F1 champion team Ferrari be running a hustle on its 2005 Formula One competitors? That's the question some are asking in light of the Ferrari team's decision to delay the launch of its 2005 F1 car until the season's round five. Instead, the team is choosing to run its 2004 car updated only for rules changes, which is clocking, at best, eighth fastest among teams running in pre-season trials. Renault's R25 car is currently the fastest of the group, coming in 1.5 seconds faster than Ferrari's 2004M.
