Ferrari determined to bounce back
Related Articles
04 January 2008
A month ago Ferrari endured a wretched weekend at a wet Silverstone, and in Germany a fortnight later it was a lack of pace that appeared to undermine the performance of the Prancing Horse. In Hungary, Felipe Massa turned the form guide on its head with a stunning start before he was robbed of victory with an engine blow-out three laps from home.
"Felipe drove possibly the best race of his career and we are very disappointed at what happened to him just a handful of kilometres from the end," said Domenicali. "We now have to react to this negative moment in our usual way - with grit, determination and with everyone playing their part."
He added: "We have three weeks of hard work ahead of us to be as prepared as possible for the European Grand Prix."
Massa, as you would expect, was naturally dejected as he said: "It was a near-perfect race, one of my best - but it's one of the most frustrating races in my career.
"As you saw, everything was perfect - then you know what happened, and it did so without warning, without the slightest indication.
"Unfortunately, racing can be a cruel sport, but these things can happen.
"Now we must not give up, but instead react quickly because there are seven races to go and 70 points up for grabs, which means there is plenty of time to make up ground."
