Predicting the Bahrain pecking order
Renault is likely to enter the season opener in Bahrain next weekend with the quickest 2006 car. That is the overwhelmingly solid feeling in the F1 test paddocks - and Ferrari`s Michael Schumacher does not argue.
"Behind them," Schumacher told La Gazzetta dello Sport whilst testing at the Mugello track in Italy, "I see Honda, (McLaren)-Mercedes and us."

Schumacher insisted that Ferrari has designed a better car for 2006 than its unsuccessful predecessor.

He said: "Our approach has been the same, but last year we were clearly not well enough prepared. This year we seem to have a very good machine."
