Brazilian GP - Domenicali: “A result that does not match our hopes or our potential”
Qualifying definitely did not live up to expectations for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, which will see its cars line up in fifth and ninth places on the starting grid for the Brazilian Grand Prix, with Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa respectively. “We knew that with the forecast weather conditions for today, this would be an especially complicated qualifying session and that was indeed the case,” commented Stefano Domenicali. “A shame, as this result does not reflect our aspirations or our potential. But putting this disappointment to one side, we have to keep in mind that the points are given out on Sunday, which is something we have said after a good qualifying and which bears repeating today. Our closest rivals are there ahead of us and we will stick to them. We will have to try and run a judicious race and pick up as many points as possible, banking on a race pace which, from what we saw yesterday, is competitive with the best. So many times this year the outcome of qualifying has been turned on its head in the race which is often played out to a different tune. We have to concentrate: reliability, strategy, the work in the garage and on track will, as always, hold the key. Finally, I want to congratulate Nico Hulkenberg, a youngster who has just taken the first pole of his Formula 1 career and his Williams team.”
