Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo has congratulated his Formula One team after they finally claimed their first win of the season at Silverstone.
It was Ferrari's first win of this campaign, their first since last year's Korean GP and came at the same track where Ferrari claimed their first-ever grand prix victory back in July 1951 with Jose Froilan Gonzalez.
"At last!" said the Ferrari president.
"Hearing the Italian National Anthem being played at Silverstone, the same venue at which we won our first ever Formula 1 race, was something I found particularly emotional.
"This is Ferrari, a team that never stops fighting, never throws in the towel, at the top level for sixty years.
"I want to thank (Stefano) Domenicali and the whole team, both those at the track, who did a perfect job and those at home, whom I'd asked to put in a huge effort, not just for us but also for our fans.
"Fernando was brilliant, driving an extraordinary race and Felipe also did very well, fighting right to the very end."
Alonso's victory moves him up to third in the Drivers' standings, 92 points behind Vettel, whose Red Bull team has 110-point lead over McLaren in the Constructors' Championship. Ferrari are third on 164 points.
