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.

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.
factory forward hard quite step understood
I think we already did one step forward with the engine. I think we've understood quite a lot of things. That's why the factory has been working quite hard and it's been positive.
