Ferrari insist that the World
Championship remains in their hands
after a defiant rallying cry from
president from Luca di Montezemolo.
Sebastian Vettel's victory at Suzuka, his
second in succession, has trimmed
Fernando Alonso's lead of the World
Championship to a paltry four points
following the Spaniard's first-corner
retirement.
However, in a briefing bristling with
defiance, Di Montezemolo has insisted
that, far from throwing in the towel, his
team will prove their strength in
adversity.
"It's at times like these that I want to
see the Ferrari I know," declared Di
Montezemolo. "A team that is focused
and that holds its nerve.
"I will speak to Fernando by phone
soon to give him even more motivation
with which to tackle these last five
races, with the bit between his teeth,
as indeed I expect all the team to do.
"I expect a huge effort from our
engineers who have already shown
they are capable of that and we are
perfectly aware that this championship
is still in our hands.
"We know we can count on the
strongest driver around at the moment
and it's only mistakes from others at
Spa and again at Suzuka, that have
prevented him from having a more
comfortable lead over his rivals."
