New Ferrari boss cautious but optimistic

Since June 1993, Ferrari had the name of Jean Todt at its head, but this year sees a change: while Todt continues as Ferrari's CEO the role of F1 team principal is now in the hands of former sporting director, Stefano Domenicali who is optimistic but cautious about making predictions for this season.

"I think that, as always, we need to be very careful when analysing the data from winter testing," says Domenicali, when asked for his views on the coming season. "However, our car seems to be a good one, but we need to see exactly where the others are both in terms of performance and reliability. I am pretty sure that this year reliability will make the difference, especially in the first half of the season."

"So I want to be cautious and not say much about this until we can see what is going on. We have a great respect for all our competitors but we know we can do something good this year," he added.
