Don’t know if this has been posted anywhere but Auto Motor Und Sport in Germany has reported that the Scuderia could be back at La Sarthe pretty soon…

Definitely the Factory drivers (Fisichella, Bruni, Kobayashi, Beretta). Maybe Fabrizio Giovannardi too, after all, he is one of the company’s test drivers.
I’d like to see Badoer get the nod too. He develops road cars for them now. I doubt he’ll get a drive though.
If this does come off, it will be interesting to see who they hire because Ferrari already has more than enough drivers to fill at least two cars so I wonder whether they’ll hire any drivers from other places.

If this is true(which i kinda doubt it is) I just wonder which drivers they would choose for the team. They would have so many options……..

Maybe they will supply engines and co-develop a car, but I can’t imagine Ferrari thinking it’s a good idea to enter WEC when their F1 team is in trouble with windtunnel calibration and I can’t imagine Toyota Cologne being too happy about Ferrari trying to develop a WEC car in the same windtunnel as their car.
If they do, they would have to come up with a very good approach to both F1 and WEC, because the way things are going in Scuderia Ferrari right now aren’t a very stable basis for success..
