Having collected a mere two points after the first two races of the 2005 F1 season, both of which were victories for team Renault, Michael Schumacher and Ferrari are pressing the team's new F2005 car into service two races ahead of schedule. While Renault is spinning the significance of the move by Ferrari as as sign of weakness (even though Bridgestone admitted its tires were at fault for Ferrari's latest loss), Sunday's race at Bahrain could be the equivalent of a pool-hall hustle from Ferrari if its F2005 car performs as many expect. We may actually watch this one, or at least Tivo it.
