Ferrari's Stefano Domenicali confident in the race to title

Ferrari Team Principal Stefano Domenicali

Stefano Domenicali is confident that his team is capable of doing wonders after the first two rounds of the season. The team principal of the Ferrari Formula One team insisted that he believes they are firmly positioned in the race to title.

With Red Bull and Vettel leading the race already, the other big names like Lotus, Mercedes and Ferrari have been challenging hard for victory so far.

“I don’t know exactly where [we are], but for sure between the leaders,” the Italian declared.

“There are tracks where our car will perform better; there are certain tracks where some others will perform better than ours.

“For sure Red Bull, in my view, is still the strongest at the moment, but we will see.

“Mercedes have done a step, Lotus is very competitive. It will be an interesting and challenging season, but we will be there – no doubt.”

The Italian agreed to some lack in form that has been a bit difficult to make out.

“This championship is very long,” he added.

“We have seen that the performance of the others is very good but we also have seen that during these two races there were so many different performances between different cars in different conditions that it was almost impossible to understand something.

“I see a lot of overreaction from some teams on the tyres but another thing in my view it’s better to stay cool and calm, as in life.”

Stefano dismissed any kind of concern over Alonso’s early exit a year ago.“Last year we were crying about the fact [we were not competitive] but after two races we already had one win and more points [than now],” he pointed out.

“So I know that, but it doesn’t matter because at the end of the day the championship is very long and it is important to stay cool and calm and make sure from the package we deliver the best.

“In terms of development, of course as everyone will do, we will try to develop the car and this is the target for every race.”
