Ferrari: Domenicali calms the controversy

Stefano Domenicali, in Shanghai, had to take his most diplomatic tone to explain the excess of Fernando Alonso on Felipe Massa during the Chinese Grand Prix (see video). The boss of the Team knows that the Brazilian may be annoyed by such an overtake but believes that the relationship between the two drivers will continue to be as normal as possible.

« When you're running, this kind of maneuver can indeed be perceived as risky, that's for sure., Domenicali tells us. But I have to say that Fernando is a competitor and that Felipe reacted perfectly so it is easy to imagine what he might have felt. What is important to say is that this episode has not changed our philosophy. »

However, this somewhat muscular duel could be the first episode of a less and less healthy rivalry between the two men. The first European Grands Prix of this 2010 season will provide an idea of ​​the degree of friendship between the two men, who both have great ambitions.
