Long wheelbase Ferrari at German GP

(22-Jul-98) - Ferrari will not yet run the new long wheelbase chassis in
Austria this weekend but instead will debut it during the German Grand Prix
the next weekend at the Hockenheim Ring.

The chassis was tested for the first time last week at Monza. The new
chassis contains a spacer of approximately 15 cm between the engine and the
transmission. "This is good, I like it," said Schumacher after
the test. "At this track [Monza] the long wheelbase is worth about
four tenth's of a second."

The long wheelbase chassis proves especially valuable at high speed
circuits according to Ferrari.
