Summary of Fernando Alonso's last week press conference

Last week , Fernando Alonso gave a press conference. He made particular reference to the 2010 season and the failure of Abu Dhabi:
"In the second part of the year, we have made an extraordinary return and, at the last race, we did not win the title. Certainly, after the race, you can say that the decision was wrong and we should have acted differently. But when we decided to pit, it seemed to be the right choice for us . Now we can be here and say that the degradation of soft tires evolved in a surprising manner and we could have stayed on track until the thirtieth round, but it's easy to say it now . The truth is that, as I have always said, even if it seems predictable, you win and lose together. While we learn more during the defeats than victory, it is also true that 2010 was a success for me. There is no more time for thinking in Abu Dhabi, one more minute spent in it is one minute less to work on this year."
Now up to 2011 where Fernando will do everything to be perfect throughout the season: "At the end of each season, you make an assessment, we know that there are areas where we need to improve while striving to maintain our forces. We lost so many points in the first part of the year and we know we will be perfect from March to November to win. We've made some changes within the team and I am sure this will help improve the things we do in all areas, not just sport. I know that Pat Fry is very good, having worked with him at McLaren, and I think he can be a great help for us."
Finally, Fernando said he would like to challenge Valentino Rossi at the end of the season on two or four wheels !

Summary of Domenicali's press conference

Yesterday Stefano Domenicali gave a press conference during which he returned on several topics: * First, he insisted that the priority for Ferrari this season is to win the two titles and have the best car of the grid .
* Then he thinks that Ferrari will have an advantage for the use of KERS, at least early in the season, thanks to their experience in 2009.
* Secondly, stefano doubts the effectiveness of the removable rear wing in place this year to facilitate overtaking because as a new technology it will have time to be mastered to perfection. Furthermore he wonders how tv viewers will know that a driver uses this system as it will only be active on certain portions of the circuit and that it is only through a slot on the wheel of the driver the pilot will know when to use this system.
* Domenicali also returned to the instructions issued in Germany and that he not regretted having taken this decision because the rest of the season gave him reason, for , without this error strategy , Alonso would surely have been world champion . More the case had contributed to abolish the regulation for 2011.
* Finally, to the question of whether Massa would remain after 2011, Stefano has not responded directly preferring simply to emphasize that he hoped that Massa would be better this year alongside Fernando Alonso.
