Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo will attend the Bahrain Grand Prix this weekend as his team chases its first points of the season.

The reigning constructors' champion has had a torrid start to the 2009 season, having failed to finish in the top eight of any of the races held so far this season. And in a bid to show solidarity with the team, di Montezemolo will travel to Bahrain on Sunday to attend his first race of the season.

A Ferrari spokesman said: "He wants to be here with the team in this difficult moment."
