Wind tunnel in Maranello is shut down for "few months" maintenance, the chassis is ready, as the work on 2013 started early May, the next 2013 contender is likely to be developed in TMG facility. What happens inside it you can check here.

Alonso recently poked Ferrari to try to be on the edge of the rules.

I wonder whether that is really smart of Alonso. Pat Fry is someone who IMO does not have his strength in design creativity and creative interpretation. The last time he had to do that was the MP4-24...

If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Ferrari will use the Cologne WT for the entirety of the 2013 season

The Maranello WT looks to be ready/repaired in August 2013 in order to be ready for use during 2014.

Ferrari are on an aero-crusade: Marianne Hinson (ex Sauber, old Lotus, now Caterham) joins the SF team.

More updates: Luca Colajanni is moving to product and corporate communications at Ferrari. Renato Bisignani now in charge of motorsport.
Quite a story for those who communicate with Ferrari ...

Good move for Ferrari, De la Rosa has a great experience with the simulator, something that Ferrari really needs. He is a nice boy so I happy for him.

Very good news, I believe Alonso/Perez had something to do with this (Perez former Ferrari driver academy student).

De la Rosa is a wealth of knowledge, information and very friendly to anyone including fans.

My first thought when I saw the news was "He knows McLaren inside out."
