“It's always nice to race in one of the temples of international motorsport,” the 43-year-old underlined. “[Silverstone] is a place we are especially connected to. Froilan Gonzalez gained the first win for the
Scuderia in a grand prix on 14 July, 1951.
“Obviously we want to add another success, but we know that we've got motivated competitors who will try everything. Last week we had three very good test days here and we think we're competitive.
“To win we have to be humble and keep our feet on the ground. We have to work concentrated and with great attention to detail. If we can manage that, we can add another good result.
“I have great respect for all of the nine competitors of
Ferrari on the track, because I know how much effort they put into their daily work. I think
McLaren might have something up their sleeves in terms of performance, while
BMW has shown some consistency in terms of results. As far as the drivers' championship is concerned, there are four drivers on the list, and we are glad that two come from our team.
“I hear from time-to-time that it might be difficult to have two drivers fighting against each other and at the same time against the drivers of the other teams, but I don't agree at all. When you work in great harmony and transparency inside the team, having two drivers who can fight for the title I'd say is a resource, not a handicap.”
