Thank you Jean!

Jean Todt came to Ferrari in the early '90s. His task was to take a team that was at best, in disarray and return it to it's former glory as world champions. This would not be easy, but the world's greatest Frenchman was up to the task.

He assembled a team that would never be equaled, shattering records year in and year out, and in 2007, he was once again the glue that kept this team together despite the retirement of the greatest driver of all time the year before, Michael Schumacher.

This is what Todt had to say after Kimi's amazing victory:

"A dream that it seemed would be impossible to come true was transformed into reality at the end of a race, which the drivers and the team managed superbly, which is self evident from looking at the details of the race."

"Two titles, nine wins, four one-two finishes, nine pole positions, 12 fastest race laps: these are exceptional figures in a season which included some difficult moments, but in which we never gave up the fight. Today was our reward for all this work.”

“I wish to congratulate Kimi and thank Felipe, who again today demonstrated his loyalty to Ferrari. Without his help, we would have not reached this result."

And thank you too, Jean. Because if it wasn't for your loyalty, your dedication, or your knowhow, Ferrari would never be where it is today.
