After the practice sessions in Abu Dhabi, a clear message has arrived for Ferrari: react to pressure with clarity and pride. After the two free practice sessions in Abu Dhabi, Ferrari has returned to the spotlight of analysis. Commenting on the situation, Stefano Domenicali spoke to Sky Sport F1 Italy, explaining with great clarity what it means to experience intense pressure within the Scuderia.
The former team principal began by recalling how easy it is for outsiders to judge the work of a team under stress. “I say this seriously, speaking from the outside is always easy, I know very well what it means to manage pressure that is often overwhelming…”
According to Domenicali, when pressure increases, defending oneself is not enough: one must lead. His message to the team leadership and drivers is direct. “Precisely when it is overwhelming, you need the strength to be a leader, you need the strength to lift your head and not find excuses.” A clear call not to be dragged down by pessimism.
Continuing, Stefano Domenicali emphasized that at this moment the company is supporting the group with trust and calm. “…From a general perspective, the company is rightly giving great calm confidence to the drivers and the team to react.”
Stefano Domenicali concluded with an appeal for operational serenity, urging the team not to be overwhelmed by performance anxiety. “I believe this is the attitude that the guys in Maranello know very well and that they must have, without being buried by the anxiety of not reaching certain performances.”
A strong message, delivered at a time when Ferrari needs solidity, confidence, and leadership more than ever—capable of transforming pressure into energy.
