Heidfeld: Ferrari are 1.5 seconds quicker than the rest
While commenting on the new floor flexibility tests Nick told reporters:
<<"I don't expect any issues with us," he told Autosport. "I don't expect any big change for anyone, including Ferrari.
"They are one and a half second quicker than anyone, and changing the floor does not take that away." >>

1.5 sec a lap faster than everyone else is a bit optomistic IMHO. The next few races will reveal the real gap soon enough

If that was the case, then Ferrari should have lapped even the second place...That didn't happen, because it's more like .5 of a sec.

As a Ferrari fan, I hope it isn't over-optimistic! Didn't the F2002 & F2004 sometimes lap that much quicker?

It is absolutely amazing how dominant the Ferrari hardware and management have been over the past decade.
I wonder how long their intimate knowledge of the Bridgestones will serve them in this one tire format?

1,5 seconds is clearly overoptimistic.
Maybe Heidfeld tries to prove as convincingly as possible why he as a driver is unable to fight against the Ferraris. 1,5 secs is clearly too much for a driver to equalise the gap. And if BMW somehow manages to match Ferraris, then he will say that look, I did a miracle, matching a car that is more than a second per lap faster. :
