Formula 1: Ferrari struggling. KERS Technology abandoned in China
And they might even abandon their bid to win this year's championship.
With three consecutive loss, Ferrari scored nothing so far, their worst performance since 1981.
Even the McLaren team is faltering. But at least they have scored 8 points so far.
Ferrari may abandon development of their current car if their performance in Spain GP do not improve when a double- decker diffuser version is raced for the first time at May 10.
And of course F1 is full of drama and controversy. Brawn's unbelievable debut and maiden win is such a breakthrough in the Formula 1 history. Brawn is really a genius.

KERS or the 'Kinetic Energy Retention System' is also not working on the Scarlet car, they even abandoned it during their race in China.
I am such a huge Ferrari fan, and I feel depressed everytime they lose in a Grand Prix. But I still have high hopes with the Scuderia Ferrari and hopefully things will get better in Europe and they will do better this time around. And I do agree with Stefano Domenicalli, to start the development of 2010 car as early as this month. But I think he must not abandon the development of the current car as well. Ferrari needs to fix their team and be ready for the challenge of Ross Brawn. Brawn still has his aces on his table, he used to be a Ferrari virtuoso.
I still not have given up with the Scarlet car yet. Ferrari have to licked-up their wounds and start all-over again.
