cars home hope
Honestly, I think the most we can hope for is to get our cars home in the points.
driving feels loves team winning
If he feels he is not competitive enough, that is when he will stop. But he is very intelligent. He loves driving and being with the team and winning races.
answer blame ferrari found needed others
If Ferrari needed him and found him available, the answer is yes. He's very strong, he never complains, he doesn't blame others if he loses.

I don't think he's given anything to Formula One,
aim along analyse developed fans ferrari follow great large nice number partner past possible prepared races run today tough tradition turned winning work
In the past years, we have developed the nice tradition of winning races on a new track, but today that run has come to an end. I am very disappointed, especially for the large number of Ferrari fans we could see in the grandstands at this great facility. We must get back to work immediately, along with our partner Bridgestone, to analyse the situation. Our aim is to be as well prepared as possible for the race in Monza and those that follow in what has turned out to be a particularly tough season.
apply asked available best business commercial company definitely driving extension ferrari five formula key last michael move next people question running shell signed speaking stays strong team three wants wish year
The last three races, and then next year when we will have Michael and Massa and we definitely wish that Michael stays in Formula One. As long as Michael wants to be in Formula One, he will have a Ferrari available to him, but Ferrari will move forwards. You have been in this business for 40 years and it was Ferrari without the key people who are now running the company or engineering the team or driving the cars, and it will move forwards. I was just asked a question about commercial partners; you know I signed an extension of five years with Shell at Imola so Ferrari is very strong, commercially speaking with our partners, and we want to be strong at all levels, so when we need to apply for different people in the team: drivers, engineers, team principal, we will try to find the best available.
announce came change consider decides drivers famous focusing future great history michael trusting
He came after many other famous drivers and I'm trusting that the day Michael decides he's going to change his future we are going to have other great drivers who are going to write the history of Ferrari. We are going to announce it when we consider it suitable to announce it. Now we are focusing on 2006.
