Ferrari president happy with Easter success

At the end of the Malaysian GP in which Kimi Raikkonen claimed his and Ferrari's first win of the season, team President Luca di Montezemolo declared his delight.

"I expected a reaction like this, because I know how strong and competitive our car and also our team is," di Montezemolo said. "I am especially happy for Stefano Domenicali, as it was his first win as Team Principal of the Scuderia Ferrari, but also for Kimi Raikkonen, who drove a perfect race. This is the best Easter present we could give to our fans." 

Montezemolo issued a rallying cry for the 'real Ferrari' to turn up at Malaysia after a fraught opening round to the season in Australia where the team claimed just one point.
