Ferrari to launch today

Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro will be launching its new Formula 1 challenger today at Maranello with hundreds of journalists expected to attend the event. The team is confident that this year's car will be a step forward from the hugely successful 2002 car and that it will allow Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello to again challenge for the title. It is not anticipated that there will be anything reallly dramatic to report about the new package although development is constantly pushing ahead at Ferrari, despite increasing pressure on the team to keep costs under control in the current economic climate.
