Ferrari team principal, Stefano Domenicali, has payed tribute to Marco Simoncelli, who sadly past away following an accident on the second lap of the Malaysian MotoGP event.
“It’s hard to express in words the pain felt at the loss of such a cheery character like Marco Simoncelli,” Domenicali, who knew the Italian rider personally.
“Events such as these and the equally tragic loss of Dan Wheldon a week ago in the Las Vegas Indy Car race, remind us how all those who take part in motor sport are always exposed to these risks. One must never drop one’s guard, aware that there is nothing one can do against fate.
“Now, the thoughts of all of us men and women at Ferrari and those at the Mugello circuit go out to Marco’s family and friends and his team. I am really close to Fausto Gresini, a dear friend who comes from my home town, Imola, who is going through a particularly fraught time right now.”
