Ferrari Fails to Impress on Home Ground
By Alex Egeling and Dale Calkins
September 10 2007
It was a disappointing Italian Grand Prix for the Ferrari team, after Felipe Massa dropped out early on and Kimi Raikkonen could finish no better than third in the team's home race. Despite this rather massive blow to the team's morale and Championship position, the drivers remain optimistic for the season and the upcoming Belgian Grand Prix.

To Impress
On Home Ground

Felip Massa
Italian Grand Prix: DNF

"I am very disappointed.  It's horrible to see your chances go in the early stages becuase of a reliability problem.  There was something not working with the rear suspension: comming into Ascari I could feel a problem under braking and came into the pits, thinking it might be due to a puncture.  However, once the tyres were changed that was undriveable and I had to retire.  We must tackle the coming races with the same spirit.  Here we were competetive and I think that will be the same in the near future.  This is very disappointing but these things happen in racing."

Kimi Raikkonen
Italian Grand Prix: 3rd

"For sure they were strong here, stronger than us but I think once we go back to Spa it should level out a little bit. Then it will probably be closer again. But of course we wanted to win our home race but we couldn't do that. "
