Nightmare in Montreal


Ferrari has less than a week to lick its wounds and regroup for the US Grand Prix after all the team could salvage from the Canadian Grand Prix was a fifth place from Kimi Raikkonen. Felipe Massa was disqualified for running a red light on the pit lane exit during the first safety car period.

"We expected a tough race, but given the outcome, that was just a euphemism," said team boss Jean Todt. "The only really positive news of the day is that Kubica, who had a really serious looking accident, is reasonably alright, given the impact he sustained. In a race that was confusing and chaotic thanks to the numerous safety cars periods, we come away with just four points for Kimi, whose car was damaged in a collision at the first corner after the start and then after Kubica's accident. As for Felipe, he was disqualified for driving out of pit lane when the light was still red. Of course this is not a happy moment for us. Now we have to study everything about this weekend, to understand how to move on. It is not the first time we have been in a situation like this and we have always shown that we can extricate ourselves from these difficulties."
