What happened to Ferrari in 2005?

I’m in the middle of F1TV’s story of the season (the best thing on F1TV from 2000-2016), and while it does an amazing job of describing the F1 season week to week, I find it does a spotty job of describing the Ferraris’ step back in 2005. The story of the season focuses on Fernando’s rise but doesn’t spend much time on the decline of the Ferrari as a car, instead making Michael and Ferrari a secondary story on the season. The Ferrari returned to front row competitiveness in 2006, so what on earth happened in 2025? ©

(OT) Got the summer break blues? Want to watch some racing this Sunday? How about the 4 Hours of Spa?

If you want some racing to watch this weekend, there's the 4 Hours of Spa, a European Le Mans Series race, on for free on YouTube.There's two classes - LMGT3, which is road car based racing cars, and LMP2. LMP2 may be the second tier of sportscar closed roof prototype racing car, but they're basically as fast if unrestricted by power and simple aero tweak regulations (adding diveplanes mostly) as the top tier WEC Hypercar as they are lighter than Hypercars and have better aero. This is due to the Hypercar regulations being slower than LMP1 which LMP2 was originally measured against. The universally used Oreca 07 is an excellent racing car, both for drivers and to spectate on broadcast.The championship winning cars in both LMP2 subclasses and the winning car in LMGT3 are all automatically granted invites to compete at the 24 Hours of Le Mans the year following, so there are some real stakes in the championship battle. Le Mans invites and a shot at a class win at the biggest 24 hour race are coveted amongst everybody competing.There's one point in the LMP2 championship as we stand pre spa weekend. Four points in the LMP2 Pro/Am subclass. Six points in LMGT3, with the current championship leaders not having won yet. And the top 5 cars in LMGT3 are within nine points.Spa is an excellent circuit for sportscar racing. I think it suits sportscars and sportscar multiclass battling more than modern F1 cars. You definitely won't be left feeling like you didn't see what Spa really can do for battles on track. No DRS or overtake system in ELMS - every inch and overtake is earned. There's no guarantee it will be an all time classic but the grid is stacked with talent and I'm sure we'll have a lot to get excited about.Click here and hit notify me if you're interested in watching! It also says when the race starts in your local time if you are curious. ©

[OT] [Nathan Brown] Talk about silly. Could Colton Herta jump to F2 in pursuit of the necessary Super License points to make a run at F1, opening a seat for Will Power or Dennis Hauger? Herta: “I’ve heard those rumors, too. That’s all it is right now, is rumors.”
