Stefano Domenicali, Ferrari sporting director, said: "We are very happy about this wonderful 1-2 finish. After a bad start to the season, we have proved we know how to react as usual.

"We worked well all weekend and the results therefore followed. Now we have to continue down this road, without allowing our absolute concentration to slip for a moment, because in a championship that looks like being very close, it takes almost nothing to lose precious points.

"Felipe was fantastic and Kimi also did a good job, as did the entire team, here at the track, but above all, those back home, because our success stems from everyone in Maranello. A 1-2 is the best possible way of celebrating a 100th victory for Luca di Montezemolo as president of Ferrari. He has always supported us, especially in the most difficult times."

Luca Baldisserri, Ferrari head of track operations, said: "A great result which proves the worth of the F2008 and of our team. We worked well with the only glitch concerning the working of the lights at the pit stop.

"Once we had moved into the positions we wanted, we asked the drivers to manage the cars very carefully. There was no need to push, nor to take unnecessary risks.

"A special thanks to our technical partners, first and foremost Shell. It is also down to the engine oil we have introduced this year that we manage to pull off this sort of performance."
