Luca di Montezemolo has praised Ferrari's resiliance after the team scored back to back podiums at Germany and Hungary.

Ferrari had a bad run since the first victory at Bahrain, snatched a 1-2 finish at Germany and 2nd and 4th place at Hungary.

 

Fernando Alonso is also now closer in the driver's championshiop run with only 20 points behind leader Mark Webber of Red Bull.

 

Montezemolo welcomed the team's fortune and said he hoped the good run will continue for the remainder of the season.

 

“It was a very busy July, which ended in a very nice way for us,” he said on Ferrari’s website.

 

“Especially when you look at where we are today, compared to one month ago. For this, I wish to thank our entire workforce, because they put in so much effort to achieve these results.

 

“The engineers put their heads down and worked on improving the car and the drivers did a great job: Fernando got an amazing start and very nearly managed to take the lead at the first corner, while Felipe brought home a significant points haul, in what was a special race for him, one year on from his accident.”

 

He further added, “It’s true that earlier in the season we have wasted great opportunities and there is still regret for some perplexing decisions, but we must look ahead and believe in the fact that today, we are in the fight for the championship,”

 

“This is the Ferrari I like to see and the one our fans want to see: a team that can fight and deliver the results.

 

“We must continue like this and then see where we are at the end. We know we must work even harder and with determination on the development of the car, but our people don’t need me to tell them that.”
