Ferrari must continue to work

The President of the Team Ferrari did not fail to emphasize that the RB8 of Sebastian Vettel was above the rest before retiring following an alternator problem, leaving the field open to Fernando Alonso. The Italian therefore asks his men to mobilize in order to reduce the gap with the team which won the last two championships so as not to lose too many points during the next Grand Prix.

« I'm worried because I expect the next three races at Silverstone, Hockenheim and Budapest to be difficult.", explains di Montezemolo. “We saw that the Red Bull is very competitive. She had an advantage of four tenths of a second in qualifying and in the race she flew away, at least until the intervention of the safety car. If we want to achieve our goals, we will have to take a big step forward”.

With this victory, Fernando Alonso takes a slight lead in the championship and now has a 20-point lead over Mark Webber. A position due in large part to the sole talent of the Spanish driver, knowing that the F2012 is not there car the fastest on the board.

“It is thanks to your work, an extraordinary driver, good strategy, perfect pit stops and all the members of the racing team and the people who work at the factory that we are today. today leading the championship even though we don?t have the best car?, adds Montezemolo. “Now we must continue to do our best, because victory depends only on us. It would be a mistake to think that by winning in Valencia we have done enough. Today we have a competitive car, but to win we have to do more. »
