(ANSA) - New York, October 9 - Ferrari's season is "not lost"
despite Sebastian Vettel falling 59 points behind Lewis Hamilton
with four races to go, the chairman and CEO of the Italian
glamour team, Sergio Marchionne said Monday. "There's still time
to catch up...the car has made enormous steps forward,"
Marchionne said, saying that Ferrari was "on a par if not
superior" to Mercedes and "we can't give up". Marchionne said
Vettel's power-out at the start of the Japanese Grand Prix, won
by Hamilton, was due to a "59-euro spark plug that impacted a
car that costs millions of euros". Few Ferrari fans give the
Prancing Horse much chance of stopping Hamilton becoming a
four-time world champ like Vettel.
