Ferrari, Arrivabene: “Fantastic race, great team spirit”

Maurice Arrivabene: “Today we saw how strong the whole team was, managing to react well despite the postponement of qualifying and despite knowing that we would have had to take the grid penalty. Seb had another fantastic race, finishing on the podium after starting thirteenth on the grid. This result allowed us to reach the mathematical certainty of second place in the Constructors' World Championship! The race strategy was very good: we focused on the Prime (medium) dry tire, mounting it on lap 27, when the safety car came in, with the aim of getting to the finish line. Then, when there was another interruption, we also mounted the Soft. Before this episode we had imagined an even better result, but the entry of the safety car is part of the game. As for Kimi, the determination he used to get out of the barriers fully demonstrates the spirit of this team. Now the championship continues and with humility and determination we must remain focused, with the aim of maintaining our positions in the Drivers' World Championship. Congratulations to Lewis, world champion."
