In defense of ferrari, it's not like they don't want to race the new car, its more of, being very sure of it's debut, reliablity with the new points system is very important, more important then last year.
Sooner or later, races don't go well, even for Ferrari, they had brilliant run of consistency before this year, but ask many people, Brazil and Aussie could of been theirs, and Sepang would of been tighter.
So you say their suffering because of no developments to f-2002, thats not the problem, brazil was a lottery race, Aussie was like that as well, weird races, Sepang was more true to performance, but then again also tyre wars, so its always shifting
