Ferrari drivers understand team comes first, says Domenicali

Stefano Domenicali says that managing two competitive drivers it’s not easy – but stresses that Ferrari’s drivers are mature enough to understand that the team comes first.

Ferrari has not been without team order controversies in the past, and with Felipe Massa now back on form, having outqualified Fernando Alonso in the last four races, there could be more to come.

“For sure it’s not easy, you can see what is happening in other teams,” Domenicali said when asked by this writer after the Malaysian GP. “I never speak about the others, you know me. You go and speak with them, it will be fun!

“But it’s something from the general point of view that it’s part of the competition, it’s part of the fact that every driver believes that he’s the strongest, and it’s good to be like that.

“And it’s part of the maturity of the drivers that are working with Ferrari to understand that.”
