John Elkann, President of Ferrari, spoke exclusively to Sky's microphones, analyzing the excellent race carried out by Ferrari in Austria.
President, how do you rate today's performance?
“Today is the best race of the season. We are all very happy to see a Ferrari fighting like this. We are talking about a very challenging and fun track, but the positive thing is that we have seen progress in the car which shows the talent of the drivers"
Did you talk to the riders before the race?
“The mood is good. They started second and third: we are talking about a race in which Leclerc was in front and in the end he got on the podium. The important thing is to see a Ferrari that continues to make progress. We must continue like this."
Elkann: “We must not be penalised”
Verstappen dominates for now: are there margins to be able to beat him?
“You must never be demoralized. Anyone who does well stimulates us to do better. This is the mentality of those who work at Ferrari. I think it's positive to see our progress and the goal will be to try to continue to improve. In Austria we saw a Ferrari that feels ready from every point of view: we are talking about an excellent team in every sector."
When will you start talking about Leclerc's renewal?
“As Vasseur said there are other priorities to focus on at the moment. Let's enjoy this podium: it was a great, very positive race for all of us."
