Ferrari boss wary of McLaren, BMW and Renault

At today's news conference in the Press Ski Meeting in Madonna di Campiglio, Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali spoke about his forecast for the upcoming season and how this year will be a particular one in the history of Formula 1, with major changes as far as the regulations are concerned and that it will be very important to keep the goals in sight in such a fast changing environment.

Domenicali urged everybody to "remain with the feet on the ground, because it will be a very difficult Championship. Looking ahead will also be required from our partners, especially from Marlboro, with whom we're sharing a common project."

The teams, the main players in this sport, have to work in the same direction, to transmit a consistent message. "As of the next tests in Portimao, Portugal, we'll start comparing ourselves to the other teams. It will be interesting to see where we are and where our competitors are."

"I think that this season will be extremely competitive, while our main competitors are McLaren and BMW, and also Renault has done a lot of work," he concluded.
