 Michael Schumacher has broken the lap record at Italy's Imola circuit in pre-season testing in his new Ferrari.
 The world champion became the first driver to break the one minute 20 seconds barrier at the home of the San Marino Grand Prix.
 
 Schumacher's lap of one minute 19.664 seconds was more than a second faster than next quickest man David Coulthard.

Ohhh aye. One second quicker than this time last year. Whoop de doo.  Williams gained more time than that over last year at other tracks.

 I have a strong feeling that it is Williams turn. The Mclarens look awful and they dont have the best drivers ever.

Is Schumacher the Tiger Woods of F1, or is he the Michael Jordan of F1?

Don't know about that, but I heard Tomas Sheckter was the Hugh Grant of F1.

Woods and Jordans income are chump change compared to Michaels.
 
 markie....He was  a second faster than the second place car with Coulthard behind the wheel and 1 second is an eternity in F1 and you know it. Will you be trading in your gay body hugging Ferrari shirt now you've jumped ship?

The Mclarens have not shown well at all, throughout the winter testing. I really think they have problems, many of which stem from not running a new car last year. Somehow they seem to be in a year behind mindset. I rate Renault to be third in the championship with Ferrari second. At this rate BAR might give Mclaren a hard time.
 
 No, I still love the little red cars. I just dont think it is there time. Plus I think the sport is more exciting with several WDC drivers. Prost Senna and Mansell days were pretty good. But I am more than a little impressed with williams car managing to look different from the rest. I couldnt tell this and last years ferraris apart.

Well it is looking like I am a complete fool. The ferraris were miles ahead of everyone last night..... I wonder if they can keep that pace over a race distance? I wonder if Williams were sandbagging/running a higher fuel load. If not it might be rather a dull season.
