The team has to believe in it - di Montezemolo

It was a long and intensive reunion this morning at the motor sports department. Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo went to see CEO Jean Todt and the Scuderia's management to discuss the situation in the F1 Championship after two thirds of the season.

During the meeting the season was analyzed and the positive aspects underlined - such as the great competitiveness, shown with five victories, six pole positions and eight fastest laps in the eleven Grands Prix so far - but also the negative aspects were touched upon - such as the reliability level, which is not as high as the usual average of Ferrari and the number of mistake made.

Montezemolo invited everyone to give his best in sight of the last six GPs of the season and to remain 100 percent concentrated on the development of the F2007 and the handling of the race weekends. "We can win all the remaining races, because we have the capacity to do it," said Montezemolo at the end of the meeting. "The team has to believe in it. As I for myself and Todt believe in it, together with our lawyers. As I've already repeatedly said since the beginning of this story, what has happened is of an incomparable gravity, and we will go on with great determination and profound conviction, until the end, as far as the legal proceedings in Italy and England, but also as far as the sporting proceedings with the hearing at the FIA Court of Appeal, on 13th September in Paris, are concerned. For Ferrari it is fundamental that the whole truth about this ugly story can be seen before everybody's eyes."
