Despite the fact that Fernando Alonso now leads the drivers' championship, Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has urged his team to keep its feet on the ground, that the title is not yet won.

Addressing the assembled staff at the Gestione Sportiva, di Montezemolo said: "Let's keep our feet on the ground.

"In these last few races, we have seen Ferrari working perfectly, both at the track and at home," he continued. "This is the image of the team I like to see projected to the outside world, one of a team of competent and capable people, proud to represent a winning side of Italy, which was clearly visible in the faces of those you who stood beneath the podium on Sunday.

"I was happy to see Fernando once again proving to be very strong and focussed, not putting a foot wrong and I was also pleased to see Felipe back on the podium, going into his home race, where I have no doubt, he will enjoy a great weekend.

"We were not useless before and we have not become genii now," he continued, referring to that stage mid-season when the Italian team and its drivers trailed the opposition, "we are just a team that never surrenders. However, we have not actually won anything yet. I have said this to all of you before: each one of us must aim for pole in our own roles, going about our business in a level headed fashion, with concentration and determination, then we can add up the figures in Abu Dhabi."
