briljant comment by Flat_Steve from PistonHeads
qte...
As you can see, they've gone for a quite radical design, which includes an enclosed canopy (presumably to protect Schumacher from the hurling of rotten fruit following the end of each race). It is also a two-seater, with Barrichello sitting directly behind Schumacher to ensure he finishes behind him every time. You'll also be noticing it has six wheels and two rear wings. These aren't actually legal of course but that doesn't matter 'cos they're Ferrari and they can do whatever the f**k they like and get away with it (in fact, the FIA are busy trying to ratify new codicils that will allow the use of the onboard heatseeker missiles and rapid-fire rear facing 12mm cannon that is integral to the design of the new car).
The 2004 car is also designed with a special traction device underneath the floor, this blade-like device 'slots' into a deep groove specially carved into the road surface and ensures the car follows a set path around the track without fear of it going off. Furthermore this will allow the car to be controlled entirely from the pits with a special trigger-like device, should Schumacher asphyxiate from his constant chortling at his opponents' entire failure to provide anything more than the most cursory of opposition.

Speaking of 6 wheelers in F1: I did like the Tyrrell's P34 a lot.
This briljant design from Derek Gardner did actually win a GP in her days: a 1-2 in 1976 GP of Sweden at Anderstorp with Jody Scheckter who came first and his teammate Depailler as second. The P34 set in the same year, with Scheckter behind the wheel, the last lap record for a F1 car at the old Nurburgring circuit during a GrandPrix.
Development of this concept was discontinued after 1977 because Tyrrell stayed Goodyear's only customer for such a small tyre in the 1977 season when only 1976 spec tyres were available .
In those days Williams experimented with a six wheeler aswell, only with 4 wheels at the rear

Seems that Ferrari wants to continue their dominance in F1 as they have fired the entire pitcrew aswell the day before yesterday.
The announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the British Government's "Work for the Dole" scheme and employ the Welsh.
The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from the Rhondda Valleys were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds with millions of pounds worth of high-tech equipment.
It was thought to be an excellent, yet bold move, by the Ferrari management.
As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari would have an advantage over every team.
However....
Ferrari got more than they bargained for at the crew's first practice session, not only were the welsh pit crew able to change the tyres in under 6 seconds but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed,re-badged and sold the vehicle over to the McLaren team for 8 bottles of Stella, a kilogram of speed and some photos of Coulthards bird in the shower.
