Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has described Fernando Alonso as ‘extraordinary’ after the Spaniard took victory in Malaysia against all odds.
The Ferrari driver managed to climb from ninth to first after taking advantage of the chaotic weather conditions which at one point resulted in the race being suspended.
“I am very happy about this victory: today it rained in Sepang, but in the end the sun came out for us!”
“Once again, Fernando drove an exceptional race, confirming his status as an extraordinary driver, from every point of view,” said Montezemolo.
However, the Italian is under no illusions that Ferrari must improve if they’re to win more races in 2012.
“I am also very pleased for Stefano Domenicali and all his people who got a nice reward for doing a perfect job on track, from the strategy to the pit stops to the car preparation,” he added.
“There is still a lot of work to do, but this win is a further shot in the arm that was much needed at a time like this.”
