Fernando was present at the Giro d'Italia as a supporter for his countrymen and commented in respect to this weekends GP and the season in general.
“Istanbul will be a very important race for us, not just for this championship, but also in terms of the history of Ferrari, as it will be the Scuderia’s eight hundredth Grand Prix," he said to Ferari.com.
