Ferrari to launch at Mugello
Ferrari's 2006 car will be launched on 23 January. The Italian marque's president has revealed that 'F2006' is to be shaken down at Fiorano, ahead of an official presentation at Mugello, a test track also owned by the Scuderia.
New Ferrari signing Felipe Massa reckons the new season is shaping up nicely, particularly after the team's near-fruitless 2005 with beleaguered tyre supplier Bridgestone.
The Brazilian, switching from Sauber, reckons the Japanese supplier's rubber product feels better now than it did at his first Ferrari test in October.
"Undoubtedly this is also thanks to the new regulations," the 24-year-old told Italian 'paper Gazzetta dello Sport, "which now allow us to use softer compounds."
