It’s been three long weeks since Australia, but the next GP is this weekend. This race, in Imola, is Ferrari’s home race. In recent tests, they’ve stated with some confidence that they’re ready to battle Renault for a victory.
The F2005When thinking about this post (before I wrote it), I decided to investigate how fast a F1 car is compared to a regular streetcar. I found this entertaining 3-minute video clip on Google Video. It’s a little dated, however, it still presents the differences well.

It was a big weekend for Ferrari! Michael Schumacher and Ferrari gave their fans what they wanted in qualifying for the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola this afternoon, taking pole position and thus breaking the record he held jointly with the late Ayrton Senna (who died at the same track in 1994).
Schumacher went on to win the race – holding off Alonso and taking his first win of the 2006 season.
