Stefano Domenicali has emphasised that Ferrari was pleased and somewhat surprised to challenge for victory at the Nürburgring, despite the cool temperatures. In Sunday’s German Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso and team-mate Felipe Massa finished in respective second and fifth places.
“A positive team result at the end of a great race, which was very exciting and in which both our drivers delivered a very good performance,” said Team Principal Domenicali.
“The weather was the worst it could have been for us and to have been in the fight for the win right to the end of the race is significant.
"We are working in the right direction and we have to continue like this, while realising we have to raise our performance level still further. I am sorry for Felipe, who lost a place at the very last pit-stop; these things happen, as we have seen so often this year down the length of the pit lane.
“Now there are just a few hours to pause for breath before immediately turning our attention to the next round in Budapest, where we would like to confirm all the progress we have seen to date while remaining well aware that we are up some very strong opposition.
“It’s not by chance that Fernando has scored more points in the last three races than any other driver and the team has done best in the last two. It means we are pushing as hard as possible and we believe in what we are doing, without ever giving up in our efforts.”
