future huge last michael remember result since
As I was going to the podium, I told Michael I could not remember the way because it has been so long since the last victory. The result was very encouraging for the future and a huge boost.
bitter given home points weekend
It was a weekend to forget. Going home without points is a very bitter feeling, given that we have all we need to succeed.
listened lose michael next positions start third
They listened to him, they listened to Sato, and now Sato will lose 10 positions (on the grid) in his next race. But Michael is going to start (qualifying) third in Brazil, which is no good.
michael missed normally opportunity quite
Michael is normally quite cool, but the way he reacted is quite significant, ... He missed an opportunity, and we know that we haven't had so many opportunities this year.
challenge improve number title
Number 5 is a setback. The challenge to improve is even bigger. We want the title back.
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.

We are working hard for the future and will try to leave 2005 as a bad year in the whole period and start with a good year again in 2006.
good knew michael pit position predict quicker quite start stops
We knew that Michael could be in quite a good position at the start but we knew that it was a different strategy. On paper, two pit stops was quicker but then you can't predict the traffic.

We have to accept the situation and do a good race, just as we did in Malaysia.

We have Badoer who is a very experienced test driver,
