Madonna di Campiglio (Italy): After disappointingly missing out on the drivers' title in 2008, Ferrari are now looking forward to the new season.
Ferrari drivers Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen are enjoying the constructor's annual winter retreat in the Italian Alps, ahead of the season these days.
With new technical specifications in 2009 designed to make the sport more competitive, the two drivers know the importance of a good start.
"Well first of all I think it will be a very different season because the technical rules are quite different. But I think everybody's starting a little bit from zero and you need to be ready straightaway to fight, you need to be even more efficient working with the team to have a good car straightaway," Massa said.
"I was actually quite nicely surprised. It didn't look similar to some other cars that I saw last year. It didn't look too much different apart from the rear wing and the front wing. Otherwise it's a nice looking car and hopefully we'll get good results with it," said Raikkonen.
Ferrari launched their new car new car F60 for the 2009 season a few days ago.
Keeping in with the rules the 2009 with a long front wing and a short, high rear one, side-pod mounted mirrors, the brand new Ferarri F60 rolled out of Maranello.
Ferrari will enter the 2009 season as the top constructor after beating McLaren by 21 points in 2008 for the Constructors' Championship.
