Should Ferrari be worried at McLaren's impressive pace?
Question:McLaren have always outpaced Ferrari in pre-season testing, both in Europe and Asia. Sources also convey that McLaren is faster than Ferrari by atleast 0.4 sec.
Is it a cause of worry?
Why has Ferrari grown so slow, and the team which couldn't win a single race in 2006, is so fast in 2007?
Who will win the world championship?
No trash pls

You stop worrying in Formula 1, you stop winning.The important thing is to not panic and take short cuts. Cool heads and nerves of steel are required. If others are fast, then okay, they're fast, there's nothing you can do about that. You just have to accept the fact that McLaren are faster than Ferrari at the moment (atleast that's what it seems at the moment), and focus on the job at hand to make the F2007 as fast and as reliable as possible.
As a Ferrari fan, I AM worried about the state that Ferrari are in currently. They are not the fastest, Kimi seems to be having some trouble adjusting to his car (judging by Massa's dominance on the time sheets), they have had a huge personnel change (Schumi, Brawn, Stepney, Martinelli to name a few), and they seem to be having some reliability issues. McLaren, on the other hand, appear to have pace as well as reliability, and a World champion driver. Renault, despite their rock solid reliability, don't seem as quick as last year, so that's a bit of a relief (perhaps a false sense of security on my part), but BMW Sauber is a worry.
So yes, Ferrari ought to be worried. But they always have been and always will be. And I'm sure the McLaren are equally worried about Ferrari...and others.
mclaren's gonna win......
gooooooooo alonso
Yes, Ferrari should be worried
McLaren have always had good speed, but not the reliability. Coupled with the confidence of having the world champion driving the car, adds up to some seriously fast times.
Kimi will take time to adjust to the team as Ferrari and McLaren are two very different teams
I would not be too worried about the fast pace that McClaren has. They are a great team, and so is Ferrari. but times and testing have nothing to do with actual race conditions. alot of the times, the fastest car doesn't win the race, but the most consistent car does!! we will just have to wait and see..!
Plus I am pulling for Raikkonen this year!
Will 20" rims and (285 / 50SR / 20) tires affect my mercedes E55 ?
It is too soon for any team to be worried about other teams pace. Although testing is a good thermometer, the true pace will be shown at the first race. Wait until Melbourne to ask this question again, because even if McLaren is fast now, there is no guarantee that the reliability of their cars is going to improve.What exhaust manifold configuration which suitable for both acceleration and top speed?
Ferrari do need to be worried by McLaren's pace as they have been consistently at the top of the time sheets. they all seem to have sorted out the reliability issues with the engine and at the moment the reliability seems to be really good. Ferrari seem to be the one that is having a lot of issues with reliability, they are known for having bullet proof cars but this car seems to have a lot of reliability issues. they need to sort this out as they will have a similar start to the championship like last years. they should also be worried by BMW Sauber who also seem to have the speed, but consistency might be key.Anyone going to the Indy 500 or wish they was?
sure Ferrari should be worried from Mcalren..long history between the teams, Mclaren has good technology and good team...
but still Ferrari the best, Ferrari gonna win this season..

I don't think the Ferrari will worry about the McLaren. Driver for driver they evenly match. Car for car even. And lets not forget, they are just testing their cars ability and they got a lot of day(s) to work on that.Does any one like NBS 24/7 The rookies?
You shouldn't look too much into testing times. You do not know what parameters are being run during test. They could be doing low fuel soft tire runs. You really shouldn't start to see the true pace of the teams until the first race in Europe. Remember last year when Schumacher said "the race season doesn't start until Europe." The first three races, you can't do too much about. You can kinda guage where everyone is at. Also, the teams don't test in between the fly away races, so whatever you have at the factory for updates you might use but they haven't been tested so your taking a chance. But you know your true pace when you get your package refined and you can finally put a true 2 race simulations under the belt of the package. That is why Ferrari sucked last year until they hit Imola. They were back at the factory, they saw where the competition is at, and they made the adjustments. And they took the win in Imola. I really never look too much into testing times. The only thing worth looking at is the aero updates that they do to the car. Also, to remember who has a better relationship with Bridgestone.
