The Scuderia's technical director Luca Baldisserri was similarly thankful that Raikkonen's race had been otherwise unimpeded, well aware that the reigning world champion could now be holding just a one-point margin over Massa and Hamilton had things turned out differently.

“We had the potential to get a one-two,” the Italian acknowledged, “but after what happened at the start, we could have ended up with one car outside the points.”

“Given what happened at the start, Kimi's result in managing to get onto the podium could have been a lot worse,” agreed team principal Stefano Domenicali. “It was yet another example of the fact that, in this sport, it takes very little for the pendulum to swing one way or the other.”
