Ferrari welcomes Fisichella and thanks Badoer

For its part, the Team obviously welcomes this movement, while Luca Badoer did not satisfy the mission entrusted to him during the last two races. For Ferrari, the choice is intended to be pragmatic, with a view to finishing the season Formula 1 the best possible. “ We chose Fisichella because we expect him to make a valuable contribution to this final game of the championship., comments Stefano Domenicali. Giancarlo has shown, throughout his career, that he is fast and competitive and we are proud to be able to have an Italian driver drive for our home race (Monza, editor's note). »

Despite the ouster, which has become obvious in recent days, of Luca Badoer, the boss of the Scuderia does not forget the faithful reserve driver, who did what he could at Valencia and Spa. “ We would like to thank Luca Badoer for the team spirit he showed in these circumstances. It's a shame that he was unable to show his true value during these last two races, which he had to tackle in conditions that everyone would have found difficult. »
