Great to see our drivers at the top of the standings, however we have to be vary of Williams and McLaren pulling out some hidden cards from their sleeves.

2005 Season Pre-Season Test #3 - Silverstone
Ferrari topped the timesheets again in the final pre-season test but it was Takuma Sato who topped the timesheets this time ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and Michael Schumacher. It was a good session for those running a race simulation with the track favouring the long runs.

It’s Ferrari vs Williams all over again, with McLaren also being in the fight. Unless other teams, like Toyota and Renault surprise us, it’s the trio to beat. BTW now I saw how our TD performed. There is still a long way to go for him.

Both cars inside the top 10, Helio is still adapting to the car while Rubens is one of the top drivers of the grid, we are going to push for that podium

It goes from bad to worse for the Jordan driver as Lotterer runs into the back of him.
This causes him to spin and drop to the back.
