Ferrari puts past behind for F1 summit

Jul.22 (GMM) Ferrari sees an upcoming meeting with its fellow F1 teams not only as an opportunity to discuss the future, but also symbolic of its desire to move on from the tensions of the past.

Inside the Williams motor home at Hockenheim, heads of the ten grand prix teams agreed to meet next Tuesday at Ferrari's Maranello headquarters to discuss in detail Max Mosley's desire for new rules in 2011.

Some practised sages of the paddock predicted that the choice of location for the teams' group meeting is significant, given Ferrari's history in matters regarding formula one as a whole.

Stefano Domenicali now heads the defending champions' F1 effort, following a long period with Jean Todt at the helm, who was often accused of thinking insularly about the Italian marque.

Amid the manufacturer's initial 'breakaway' saga three years ago, Ferrari broke ranks and sided with the FIA.

The team was also at the centre of controversy last year amid the spying scandal -- but at Hockenheim, Ferrari figures including Domenicali accepted McLaren-Mercedes' invitation to attend a party.

Domenicali said of the upcoming F1 summit at Maranello: "Ferrari, and above all our president, is very keen to participate.

"Ferrari is part of F1 and Mr (Luca) Montezemolo is really keen on that," he added.
