TALKING POINT HONEYMOON OVER
“Ferrari is at a crossroads,” declared
Gazzetta.
Arrivabene, however, was quoted
as saying: “If we win the next five
races, everything is open again.”
Former Ferrari driver Fernando
Alonso thinks that is very unlikely,
“Ferrari is having unfortunate races and
mechanical problems, but the problem
is the big advantage Mercedes has
year after year.”
“It is true that Ferrari has more
pressure because it seems to get
closer and then not, but the problem is
Mercedes,” the McLaren-Honda driver
added.
Meanwhile in the wake of the
Sochi weekend Ferrari big boss Sergio
Marchionne has only added to the
pressure by saying, “[Sunday] was a
bad day and we must close the gap at
the speed of light.
“I am used to seeing the Ferrari
of Schumacher so it hurts my soul
to see a Ferrari that suffers,” added
Marchionne, who earlier had set the
team goals of immediate race wins
and the title. “But I have the utmost
confidence in the team that we will
succeed.”
