Jarbas, the "Red Snake", brings to Ferrari the fourth win in Interlagos F1 GP

The sky is red above Interlagos. After a difficult GP where main contenders were very close during all the race, Jarbas, the "Red Snake", gets his third victory on Ferrari as a rookie in this season, the fourth for the team.
Jarbas starts from the pole, it is the first time in his career. Speedowsky and Osmolovskiy are very fast and aggressive and overtake Ferrari taking the lead. Jarbas anticipates the pit, comes back to the track and pushes hard recovering the first position.
Szybki on Sempre Senna takes part to the party and comes in the first positions.
At the second pit, same film, Jarbas anticipates and stresses his new tyres to come back to lead with a gap of 4 seconds. From the back a new formidable competitor tries to contend to him the victory: Novikov (he will be the new World Champion at the end of the race) overtakes Sempre Senna's cars and takes the second position. The Russian ace seems superfast but Jarbas keeps calm, manages his margin and closes with his third win.
Here the words of Ferrari Manager Max Del Ragno:"It was an amazing day for Ferrari, we took the fourth victory in this season and consolidated the third position in the Team Championship."
What about Jarbas nickname "Red Snake"? "He won all his three races of this season with a very personal pit strategy, he his like a snake... he is able to disappear and to hit the race coming back to the first position."
There is only one race missing to end this season, what about the next? "We expect Ferrari to be competitive in the next season as in this one, we had some budget constrains and we were not able to develop the current car during the season, we will try to do something better the next one."
