quoteMarchionne "expects" Ferrari to start winning in Spain
By: Pablo Elizalde, News Editor 7 hours ago
Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne is confident the Italian Formula 1 team can start winning races, beginning with this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix.
Although the Maranello squad has shown promise in the first four races of the season, reliability problems and accidents have meant it has failed to present a challenge to the dominant Mercedes team.
Sebastian Vettel is already 67 points behind championship leader Nico Rosberg, with Kimi Raikkonen 57 adrift.
But Marchionne reckons once the bad luck goes away, Ferrari will start beating Mercedes.
"I am confident," Marchionne said during the presentation of the new Alfa Romeo Giulia in Balocco, Italy.
"Sunday will be an important day. So far, much of it was down to bad luck, but the season has just begun.
"I expect us to win shortly, starting with Spain," he said.
Despite the lack of victories, the Ferrari boss said he was happy with how both Vettel and Raikkonen had performed this year.
"I'm very satisfied with both Vettel and Raikkonen," he said. "The only thing that hasn't worked well is luck." Alfa entry still on the cards
Marchionne insisted plans for Alfa Romeo to enter Formula 1 are still on the cars, but it will depend on the Italian manufacturer's success in the road car market.
"It will depend on the success of the Giulia," he said.
"Surely our participation will be limited to F1. We are not, however, available to run only as engine suppliers, but we would focus on a complete package like Ferrari.
"To finance the races you have to sell the cars. Today is only the beginning of a long road. "
And I thought Red Bull is shitty because of how they handle the thing with Kvyat. But then and big a..hole from the FIA put Kvyat and Verstappen together in the press conference tomorrow!
quoteRaikkonen: Ferrari F1 team closer to Mercedes than results suggest
By Lawrence Barretto, Mitchell Adam Published on Thursday May 12th 2016
Kimi Raikkonen believes Ferrari's troubled start to the Formula 1 season has been far from a disaster, and that it is closer to Mercedes than the results suggest.
Ferrari entered the new F1 season expected to mount a serious challenge to Mercedes, but has had just one car in the podium in each grand prix, with China the only time both its drivers have finished. Pos Driver Points 1 Nico Rosberg 100 2 Lewis Hamilton 57 3 Kimi Raikkonen 43 4 Daniel Ricciardo 36 5 Sebastian Vettel 33 6 Felipe Massa 32
In the constructors' championship, Mercedes' tally of 157 points after four races is more than double Ferrari's 76.
"If you look at how many points are left, it's nowhere near too far [from the top]," Raikkonen said.
"We do our best every single race weekend and it's always easy to say afterwards 'if', but this is what we have achieved so far.
"Sure, we can do a better job, we want to achieve better results.
"The aim is to be in front with two cars and we have done a good job with this car over the winter again.
"Obviously it's not yet where we want to be - and challenge Mercedes every weekend in races.
"I don't think we are as far as some results [indicate], if you purely looked at some results it's not always truthful.
"There's work to be done, but it's far away from disaster."
Raikkonen and Vettel have shared reliability woes and damage from first-lap incidents this year, and the Finn says Ferrari is "aiming to clean up things".
Mercedes has been far from bulletproof itself, with Toto Wolff suggesting the threat from Ferrari was causing it to push the boundaries.
When asked by Autosport about Wolff's comments, Raikkonen said he wasn't sure if it was the reality.
"Every team has some pressure from themselves to try to improve and from the outside also," he said.
"I'm sure that none of the teams are just standing still and not doing anything, you try to make the best choices when you introduce new stuff, and minimise the risk in some ways.
"In any area, things can go wrong and we've seen with them and with us and some other teams.
"We're pushing the limits always and sometimes things go wrong."
I really hope Marchionne also let Arrivabenne work

Kimi pleased with the day ‘but can still improve’
“It was a normal Friday, we were focused on our program. At one point I came back into the garage to check something in the car: we wanted to be sure that everything was ok. It was only a small issue and by the end of the session we managed to do all that we wanted to. It’s hard to say now where we are compared to our rivals, it was not a bad day, but for sure we can still improve. This is a very hard circuit for the tires and there is a twisty last part, but it is the same for everybody. Compared to Russia it’s easier to make the tires work, but obviously there’s still work to be done to be 100% happy with the balance of the car. In the evening we’ll work to improve and hopefully we’ll be stronger.”
