Ferrari boss Montezemolo expects more wins this year

The Maranello squad has turned its fortunes around after a poor first part of the year, and now Ferrari has been fighting in front, with Fernando Alonso having won the British Grand Prix and having finished second in Valencia and Nurburgring and third in Hungary.

Montezemolo is adamant Ferrari will be a "key player" in the second part of the season, the Italian expecting there are more wins to come.

"I can see the right spirit in the team after a very difficult start to the season," Montezemolo said on Ferrari's website.

"Domenicali and his crew seem very determined, concentrating fully on their tasks for the second part of the year which I am sure will feature Ferrari in the role of a key player.

"I expect we will pick up wins to add to the important and historically very significant victory achieved at Silverstone."

Ferrari said Montezemolo met with team boss Stefano Domenicali, as well as Pat Fry and Luca Marmorini, to discuss the state of the design of the 2012 car and also look at the overal situation in F1, which the team said is now entering a "delicate phase".

"There is no doubt the sport is approaching a delicate phase, featuring important deadlines and new horizons," said the team on its website.

"Ferrari will be keen to look in depth at certain issues in the most appropriate way, aware of its historically central role in the world of motor sport."
