Ferrari to have new F1 car ready for Bahrain

[John S]

They started on new chassis after 1st Barca test, rumour says.             

Ferrari might only have to suffer for two more races, according to a report in the Spanish sports daily Marca.

The report said the Maranello based team is hard at work on a "completely new car" that could debut as soon as the Bahrain grand prix late next month.

Marca added that the ’new’ F2012 will have "not just a modified exhaust" but an almost entirely "new chassis", which is scheduled for FIA crash testing.

The report said Ferrari has been working on the car since the first Barcelona pre-season test.

"We need to work more than the others knowing that we are a little bit behind now, but the championship is long," said Fernando Alonso in Malaysia.

"We need to score as many points as possible in these couple of races and in a very short period of time try to be on the podium and win races," he added.

Fingers crossed for the new car. I did read a Fernando quote saying "I am sure the guys are already working 24 hours a day, We know need to get them to work 25"
What a task master hehe

If they can get it up to speed by Bahrain it could be a 2010 style comeback  Just hope it ends more successfully.

If you read this Ferrari designers, make the car prettier please.....
