Well, aren't the F2004-GA and MP4-18 supposed to be both quantum "leap cars"? Since Indy last year Ferrari has not been too secrative about showing off the 2002 chassis. On the "Speed Channel" warm up last week a photographer was shown walking up to one, dropping a camera into the cockpit and taking a snap, no problem. The Mclaren has a new engine in addition to the chassis and, I suspect, takes further advantage of last years rules. Maybe, taking a clue from the aircraft industry the new Mac will be the first car ever designed, built and "driven" completely on computers before ever being seen. Let them take their time. Nobody wants a repeat of the Lotus 80.
