Todt Remains Cautious Despite Dominant Win

Ferrari's sporting director Jean Todt has remained cautious about their title chances this year despite a dominant victory at last Sunday's San Marino Grand Prix.

World Champions Ferrari regained the lead in the Constructors' Championship after Michael Schumacher scored his third win in four races this year, dominating the Imola race from start to finish.

But despite their domination Todt said that his team have to continue working on making more improvements to the Ferrari F2002 this year.

"I know motorsport well enough to know that things can turn around," Todt said. "We must be careful and humble because it could happen to us tomorrow and this same question could be asked of our successful rivals.

"We shall continue to work as hard as possible in order to make it hard for our rivals and try to score points to win the Championship."

Williams technical director Patrick Head echoed the thoughts of the grid when he admitted that nobody is quick enough to live with the speed of Ferrari.

"We were obviously well-beaten and we've got to understand why and put it right," Head said. "Our strategy was pretty much what all the other front-runners did so ultimately it comes down to the fact that we weren't quick enough."

Todt said that the Ferrari F2002 package was good enough to claim more one-two finishes after Schumacher and teammate Rubens Barrichello ruled supreme on Sunday.

"I think you have to look at the first four Grands Prix. Michael has won three out of four races this season and now Rubens has won his first points," he said. "It is a very good car which is a development of the F2001 World Championship-winning car from last year.

"It has been the subject of various improvements and is equipped with remarkable Bridgestone tyres."
