Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali, has urged his team that whilst the title fight is getting more difficult, winning it is still not impossible.
A poor result for the Italian outfit saw their number one driver leave the Spa-Francorchamps circuit without a single point. Meanwhile Felipe Massa managed to finish fourth – but with the team throwing their full weight behind the Spaniard and an 80 point deficit in the constructors championship, glory is slowly slipping away.
“For sure it was not really a positive weekend for us,” said Domenicali. “From the points point of view for sure we lost ground, no doubt about it – and it is more difficult but it is not impossible.
“For sure it is more difficult but we want to keep pushing because out of the top five drivers, we were one of the three that did not score a point,” he added.
The Italian is hoping for a change of luck in the coming races, having seen one of their title challengers, McLaren, back on the pace.
“Maybe in the next couple of races something will happen the other way around, so we just need to be there and to not give up.
“We did not go out this weekend with the performance that we were expecting, and we need to understand why. We need to be very cautious because two races ago we saw one of our competitors, McLaren, seemed to be suffering and now it seems to be that they were very strong.
“Race by race, the scenario is changing so quickly that it is difficult to predict something. It is important to be there because with these conditions anything can happen.”
