Default Ferrari showing some improvement ?

in the last 7 days Ferrari have being testing at Bahrain with MS driving the 248 F1 and Massa a restricted F2004.
Schu's best times were up to 1.32.919 in the first days and today his best time was 1.31.390

1.6 secs of difference in one week shows how much are they working. I hope they keep the good work

1.6 secs quicker in a week is pretty good, especially when you consider that they work so hard for the advantage of every fraction of a second!

btw, how much power & torque are these new 2.4l V8s producing?

To be honest, I am glad they hit mechnical problems. It is always better to find more problems pre-season than during. Can't wait to see Ferrari back on top again. Renault and Honda look very strong also, it's gonna be an exciting season

I think that information is classified. Rumors speculate around 200hp less than the V10s.

todays best time was 1.30.723 with the 248 F1. thats more than 2 seconds less from his fisrt best times, and 0.6 secs from yday, seems theyve found something to make improve the car a bit
