Luca Di Montezemolo hails Ferrari's reaction

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo was overjoyed after the Italian squad bounced back from their disappointing Australian Grand Prix.

Just one week after both Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa retired from the Melbourne race due to mechanical problems, the world champion took a commanding win in Sepang.

Ferrari looked set for a one-two, but Massa spun off the race on lap 31.

Despite that, di Montezemolo was delighted with Ferrari's reaction.

"I expected a reaction like this, because I know how strong and competitive our car and also our team is," said di Montezemolo.

"I am especially happy for Stefano Domenicali, as it was his first win as Team Principal of the Scuderia Ferrari, but also for Kimi Raikkonen, who drove a perfect race.

"This is the best Easter present we could give to our fans."
