Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo is adamant his team have a long way to go if they are to be competitive this season.
The Italian outfit secured their first win in 12 Formula One races, thanks to a fine performance from former world champions Fernando Alonso, who took the chequered flag at the Malaysian Grand Prix last weekend.
Alonso managed to take advantage of the use of the safety car and the wet conditions in Sepang to record an unlikely win for Ferrari, who have continued to struggle for pace after a challenging 2011 campaign.With McLaren and Mercedes looking like the two fastest teams in qualifying for the meetings in Australia and Malaysia so far, Ferrari had been left wallowing lower down the order.
The win for Alonso last weekend has given the Maranello-based team something to cheer about but Di Montezemolo is under no illusions as to where they stand compared to their rivals in the current campaign.He told the Ferrari website: "I am...very pleased for Stefano Domenicali (Team Principal) and all his people who got a nice reward for doing a perfect job on track, from the strategy to the pit stops to the car preparation."There is still a lot of work to do, but this win is a further shot in the arm that was much needed at a time like this." - http://www.setanta.com
