Ferrari 'double Clutch' Rumour.
Sources close to the Ferrari factory at Maranello suggest that the team has been experimenting with a revolutionary 'double clutch' system in testing over the winter.
The arrangement is intended to make the driver's life easier, by reducing the time lost in changing gear and recovering revs previously lost on cornering or braking.

It is rumoured that the team's test driver Luca Badoer was running the double clutch set-up on a 1998-spec F300 when he set the car's lap-record at Fiorano recently. The Italian's time of 1min 00.226secs was comfortably the best achieved by an F300, and observers reported strange protuberances at the back of the car which had not featured before.
