Rubens' smiling again

Rubens' was a broader smile in the Imola paddock. The Brazilian,
Ferrari's Mr. Barrichello, had traveled to Bahrain with scarce
experience of the new F2005 -- but San Marino will be different. He's
been hard-at-work in Italy ever since.

"We have made progress in every area," the 32-year-old reported, "from
aero, to engine, to Bridgestone tire."

RB and Ferrari colleagues also pounded around Mugello, Fiorano and
Monza, and experienced no gearbox trouble. He, therefore, dismissed
talk of a scarlet crisis.

"You cannot judge a season on three races," said Rubinho, "especially
this year with a very long calendar."
