Ferrari have vowed to keep fighting rather than let self pity set in after their title hopes took another blow Sunday when they came away empty handed from the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. Spaniard Fernando Alonso had been fighting for a podium place but ended up finishing 14th after being given a drive-through penalty for cutting a corner to overtake Robert Kubica’s Renault. Brazilian Felipe Massa came home one place further back, having been forced to the rear of the field with a puncture caused by a collision with his teammate Alonso on the first lap. ”We seem to be really cursed at the moment, when everything that could go wrong, does,” said the Italian glamour team’s principle Stefano Domenicali. ”We are not happy, but we must not feel sorry for ourselves. Instead, we have to react calmly, remaining focussed and continuing to work in the way we have over the past few weeks”. Sunday’s results leave twice world champion Alonso with 98 points in fifth place in the standings, 47 points behind McLaren championship leader Lewis Hamilton of Britain, while Massa is eighth with 67 points. Ferrari are third in the constructors standings with 165 points, while second-placed Renault have 249 and McLaren lead with 278. ”Clearly, the championship situation is looking complicated but we remain convinced we can still fight for the title,” added Domenicali. ”We will continue to push on with the development of the F10, confident in our chances of making up the ground we have lost”. One reason for optimism is that, apart from the clutch problems that hampered Alonso’s start, Ferrari’s F10 race car looked competitive on a Silverstone circuit that pundits said was not well suited to its characteristics. ”We go home with no points, but with the knowledge that we have a potential, in terms of the car, the team and the drivers, that is up to the situation,” said Domenicali. ”We must not allow ourselves to give in to frustration. I am sure that the results and the points that have been lacking for so many reasons recently, will come”.
