Ferrari chairman: Team \u2018not up to par\u2019<\/p>\n
Ferrari chairman John Elkann gave remarks in Milan on Monday expressing his disappointment at the team\u2019s double DNF in Brazil, and how they need to rally together to achieve success in Formula 1.<\/p>\n
By doing that, though, he urged both drivers to \u201ctalk less\u201d and keep focus on the track.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Formula 1, we have mechanics who are always first in performing pit stops. The engineers work to improve the car,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe rest is not up to par. We have drivers who need to focus on driving, talk less, and we have important races ahead of us, and it is not impossible to finish second.\u201d<\/p>\n
