Jean Todt has claimed that Ferrari's team orders call at the Austrian Grand Prix will actually increase the popularity of Formula One as it heads to Monaco for the next round of the Championship. Todt told French newspaper L'Equipe that he believes the fan's love for Ferrari will be undiminished.

"Some people claim they won't watch it any more. But I think the Monaco Grand Prix will have an exceptional audience this year. The public will want to know what Ferrari are going to do now, to find out what happens next in the story.”
"I know that the public love us. They have been let down, they are angry. But anger is a part of life. Do sailors stop loving the sea because of the storms? At the end of the day, our current 'problem' is to explain our team strategy when our drivers are in a position to finish first and second. We could be in a far more difficult position. A lot of teams would doubtless love to have such concerns at the moment."
"When we took on Barrichello, it was seen as a bad choice. It seemed like we hired a good-for-nothing, a whinger. Today the whole world finds it normal for him to win and for us to have faith in him."
