It is fair to say that the 2006 season has been far from ideal and, as a result, it would be fantastic for the team and our partners to bring the season to a close with a victory," he said, "There has been a massive final push by everyone involved toward making this happen in Brazil. As with any race, this will be a challenge, but you cannot predict anything in motor racing as we have seen over the past few races.
"This race marks a definite end of an era for us as a racing organisation with the departure of Kimi. As we go into the winter, however, we have exciting prospects ahead of us for the coming season and the motivation and determination within the team is incredibly high.
Ferrari Michael Schumacher (#5), Felipe Massa (#6):
Still involved in the hunt for both championships, Ferrari knows that nothing less than victory will suffice on Sunday and, even though he personally denies it is possible, Michel Schumacher will still have at least half an eye on upsetting the odds and clinching an eighth drivers' crown to wear into retirement.
The build up to the last grand prix of the year has the added spice of being Schumacher's last after more than a decade at the top of his sport and, although he needs a win and the fates to fall in his favour this weekend, his competitive spirit will keep pushing him forward.
"Overall, I am positive and this makes me enthusiastic about this race," he said, "I have already said that I would like to win the constructors' title for my team, and our tactic will be to attack. It would be wonderful to win this last grand prix for us all.
"This is my last race and I have to say that I am pleased that it is taking place in Brazil. Interlagos is fascinating and I have always liked it, especially as it is not a simple one to drive - it is a great physical challenge. We have a great squad and, over recent years, I have had Brazilian partners and this has given us even more support. [Winning] would be an occasion for a huge party."
