Di Montezemolo: No more mistakes!

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has told his team it should not make the mistakes it has made during the British Grand Prix. Both Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen spun several times at Silverstone due to a lack of grip. Di Montezemolo warns his F1 team this should have been the last time such a disaster has happened this season.

"I really hope we can claim our eighth victory in ten years," Di Montezemolo told Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport. "I'm sure we can win that title if we won't make those silly mistakes we made again. It's no surprise that I wasn't happy with what I saw at the British Grand Prix but hopefully it was a wise lesson for the team. I am convinced the team learned their lesson and that it won't happen again.

" We are now half way into the 2008 Formula 1 season and we are leading the constructors' championship but we gave away a lot of points. That shouldn't be happening in the second half of the season," di Montezemolo warned his team.
