Formula One: Ferrari president warns of complacency

LONDON: Not content with seeing Spain’s Fernando Alonso become the first driver this year to win a race twice, Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo called a meeting of the entire team ahead of next weekend’s British Grand Prix that takes place at Silverstone. In the meeting he made clear that despite being in a good position, he feared the potency of the challenge from rivals Red Bull and complacency in the ranks. Di Montezemolo said he wanted everyone to redouble their efforts. “I am worried and all of us should be worried too,” said Montezemolo. “I expect three very tough races at Silverstone, Hockenheim and Budapest because we have seen that Red Bull are very strong. Today we have a competitive car, but to win, we must do even more.”
