Ferrari is the best motor racing team 'in the world.' That's the observation of Marc Gene, the Spanish test driver who switched from Williams to the six-time consecutive F1 world champion marque.
''I haven't been here a day but I already feel at home,'' the 30-year-old told La Gazzetta dello Sport as he tested at Circuit de Catalunya.
It's understood that Frank Williams told Marc two months ago that there would not be a place at Grove for him in 2005. Gene contacted top F1 teams like McLaren and Renault, but Ferrari replied first. ''I don't know why Williams decided what they did,'' he commented, ''but they did me a favour."
''Maybe I could have got a race drive (in 2005),'' Marc said, ''(but) I think it's better to test for Ferrari than drive for an uncompetitive team.''
