Domenicali upset with race and Italian press
Yesterday Ferrari had a great opportunity to score good points, they started as second and third but weren't able to convert those places to a podium finish. During the race their luck ran out. Fernando Alonso spun his Ferrari after an incident with Jenson Button and Felipe Massa finished as sixth after trying to pass a back marker. Stefano Domenicali is still upset when he thinks about their race in Montreal: "When I think that yesterday we could have taken our first win of the season, then I still feel a sense of anger. We were very well prepared for this race and everything evaporated through an incredible run of adverse circumstances. If one looks at everything that happened in the race, I can manage a weary smile: the winner, whom I must congratulate, because one should never lose respect for one’s rivals, actually set a record for pit stops and was always behind our cars while they were actually running on track."

The Italian team principal isn't happy either with the reaction of the (Italian) media and argues their inconsistencies: "Further proof of how difficult it is from the outside to read a race, he made similar strategic choices to the ones for which we are being criticized in what I consider an excessive manner. It’s true that the final result can affect people’s judgment. That’s a rule of sport and we have to accept it, but that does not necessarily mean we have to agree with it."

He explains that it's key to move on quickly: "When you have days like this you want to turn the page immediately, forgetting the negatives and hanging on to the positive aspects. Partly down to the characteristics of the track and also because of all the work we are doing, we are beginning to see the benefits of our efforts, as was the case in Monaco and also in Montreal where we were competitive enough to fight for the win. We must continue down this path, because sooner or later the results will come."

Domenicali says that they are focused on the win and hopes others will make mistakes from which Ferrari can profit: "Now there is no point looking at the classifications in both championships, as it does not make sense at the moment. We must act like football teams who find they have dropped behind and play every match in an attacking manner, only going for the win. Then, if the others slip up and the situation changes, we will see where we are."
