Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene has stated that despite a torrid weekend at Belgium, the team are still taking positives from the race.
Ferrari were looking to challenge Nico Rosberg for victory at the Belgian Grand Prix, a hope that was shattered when the two cars collided at turn one resulting in damage for both cars and immediately putting them on the back foot.
Even though the team dropped further behind Red Bull in the constructer standings, Arrivabene refused to say it was a disaster weekend.
“For me it’s encouraging that after the accident- where both cars were really damaged on the floor and in other areas, the performance [that Vettel and Raikkonen] showed out there was much stronger,” he said.
“The performance on the track, considering this problem, was quite good. So we turn a page and we look forward with Monza with positive information.”
“As you know all the tracks have different characteristics but I think it was also a good sign, considering the reaction of our guys last Friday, not only here but also at home,” the Italian added.
“The team is very compact, we are all united here and at home and we are pushing all together and looking forward to have a good race at the Italian Grand Prix.”
Formula One returns to Italy this weekend and the team are hoping that the tifosi will turn out in numbers to support them.
