His point was that if the gearbox is supposed to be longitudinal, then the gears should also be so arranged. FIA staff were seen on Sunday morning taking a good look at a 550 Maranello road car, so presumably they have all the information they need to decide on all aspects of the latest 550 to arrive on the scene.<BR> <BR> Meanwhile, Jean Todt's right hand man - Snr. Berro - is expected to attend the Zolder race this weekend with the Rafanelli team, which must be an endorsement of their 550s' performances on the track so far.</FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
