Zoom Ferrari has won the 2008 constructors' title

Ferrari's Team Principal Stefano Domenicali showed the true soul of Ferrari when he spoke after Felipe Massa won the Brazilian Grand Prix and clinched the constructors' championship, but 18 seconds later lost the drivers' series to Lewis Hamilton.

Like the racer that he is, Domenicali appreciated the extraordinary finale that came down to an amazing last few last seconds. "It is impossible to say that that isn't true. It was an incredible end to the season and once again I think we have to be proud of what we have done. There is no reason for us to look back and say, what if, what if. With what ifs you can build the world."

"The only thing I can say is that we are extremely happy with the achievement we have done today on the constructors' championship. In eight of the last ten years we were champions. It is something only Ferrari has done so I am very proud of the team, and all of the guys - here and those at home. For us it is a great achievement."

Domenicali went onto pay tribute to Massa, who so nearly won the drivers' championship. "I am very happy also for Felipe. He did an incredible season - no one in the beginning could have said something like that."

"This year Felipe did two races that will remain in the history of his growing career. One was Hungary, where unfortunately we had a problem but he was really fantastic. And there was today. Great maturity and I am very proud to have Felipe in our team, because that is the way that we should look ahead for our future. You know, we are still very hot after the end of racing, but you can be sure that after a couple of days we will be fully committed for next season. For Felipe to lose the championship by one point, as it was last time but the other way around, I know it can hurt."

"I saw in him a great serenity inside because he did the maximum. That was really a great day today."

Domenicali continued. "I think that Felipe has matured a lot. He is really a great driver. Now he's done a lot of pole positions, so on the single lap he is already on the top. And he has grown significantly in performance lap by lap, and the consistency of that. And also today in the mixed conditions, with the pressure where you don't know where you are going then it shows a lot. So I think within these kind of races, you can see how he will go ahead. From this victory lost you can be strong inside and that will be the case for him."
