As the tifosi awaits the beginning of the 2005 revival, Ferrari technical director, Ross Brawn, has revealed that his team is already working on its 2006 car.

Mindful of the new regulations which come into affect next season - primarily the new V8 2.4 litre formula - Ferrari intends bucking its trend in recent years and will start the season with its new car, which means getting the car on-track as soon as possible.

"It will probably a little bit earlier" Brawn admitted to Speedtv.com, "because of the quite basic change in the regulations, particularly the engine. So, we've got a hybrid car being built which will run this summer, which is the current car modified to take a V8 engine.

I'm pretty sure they mean a hybrid between their 2005 and 2006 designs, not that it is a hybrid powered vehicle. Still a regular engine only car.

You are correct.
The 2006 car still has to comply with the Formula1 regulations.
