Tuero switches to tin tops
Esteban Tuero has signed up for Argentina's unique TC2000 series, with 2 litre engines, front wheel drive tin-tops with wings and splitters.

Schuey writes off BARs chances

Todt denies his job is on the line
Jean Todt has gone on the defensive over suggestions that Ferrari will face a major shakeup if it doesn't win this season. He is quoted as saying "Do we take out a gun and shoot ourselves if we don't do it? If you can explain why you lose, it's okay. If you can't explain or improve the problem, then you have to ask questions. But we know exactly where we are and why we are there. Ferrari did not win the championship for 20 years because it made too many changes. Stability is a good thing."
Teams agree on tyre testing
The FIA and the teams have agreed on the dates for the 25 days of testing this season. Also, Bridgestone have agreed that when Ferrari or McLaren have developed a new tyre, all teams will have access to it at least 45 days before it races.
