(GMM) Ralf Schumacher has spiced up his appraisal of F1's new V8 formula.
Last week at Barcelona, the Toyota driver tried a 2.4 litre engine in the new 'TF106' for the first time, and praised a 'very good engine with a nice torque curve'.
But Ralf, the 30-year-old German, has now joked to the press that the V8 - about a 200bhp step down for the sport - felt like it featured 'the torque of a coffee machine'.
He saved a good word, however, for Bridgestone, after spending years on the rubber of tyre rival Michelin.
''The tyres seem consistent and fast,'' 'Schu Jr' said. ''I don't believe Ferrari failed to win the championship because of them.'''
