New chapter for Ferrari off to a great start
Jean Todt was a happy man after Sunday's Australian Grand Prix. The Ferrari team boss saw the team's new driver win for the first time in the Italian team's car and Massa bring in a few points.
"I was very happy to get two telephone calls, the first from Michael as I was going up to the podium, which I handed to Kimi and the other from Luca di Montezemolo who was jumping for joy as if this was our first win in a decade. And indeed that is the feeling for us all!"
Ferrari team boss Jean Todt also says Kimi Raikkonen seems to be a lot happier at Ferrari than he was at McLaren. The Finn has been smiling a lot more, and especially after he took victory in the Australian Grand Prix.
"He seems to be a bit more smiling with us, which you know is not our speciality. But still, we are very happy with him and he seems to be happy with us," Todt said.
"Our relationship is just professional and friendly. He spends time with the engineers, the engineers are happy with him," he added. "And he spends time with the team. On Saturday I had dinner with him and Felipe and they were happy. It is just a good atmosphere and confirmed what everybody feels in the team."
