I was at
http://f1rumors.net/archive/2000/28/07-12.html when they made a good point about the Mugello test. McLaren tested their cars at one of Ferrari’s home tracks, Ferrari now knows where exactly McLaren is in terms of performance compared to them. They know where the MP4/15 is stronger then the F1-2k and where they are weaker. And seeing as how McLaren actually was setting fast times, team Schumacher seems to have accurate data. Did McLaren make a stupid move?
Slipping into conspiracy mode here, wouldn’t Ferrari go even farther, the track is theirs after all. That means they could set it up to gather info on McLaren. Ferrari now has something to work towards; I wouldn’t be surprised if McLaren type parts start to appear on future versions of the F1-2000.
I’m not crazy am I? Some one at Ferrari (TGF I think) said that there was very little development left in the car. It makes perfect sense.
Any thoughts?
