Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali reckons the next three Grands Prix will make or break the Scuderia's season
Alonso aiming to cut into 29-point deficit
Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali reckons the next three Grands Prix will make or break the Scuderia's season.
The Maranello marque are without a win since the season opener in Bahrain when Fernando Alonso crowned his Ferrari debut by taking the chequered flag at the Sakhir circuit.
But Alonso currently trails championship leader Lewis Hamilton by 29 points, with Ferrari 83 points behind McLaren in the constructors' standings.
"It is very important to win one of the next three races," said Domenicali. "It would be crucial for the championships, for motivation. It is really the key before the summer break, to have the kind of result I think our team deserves."
Ferrari had hoped for some degree of success in the European Grand Prix 11 days ago when they unveiled their latest upgrade package.
However, all within the team were frustrated by what transpired during the race, with Alonso and team-mate Felipe Massa falling victims of the safety car rules.
After running third and fourth in the early stages, Mark Webber's dramatic accident resulted in the duo finishing eighth and 11th, whilst other drivers who flouted the regulations fared better.
Atmosphere
Domenicali maintains the atmosphere within the team following that race remains "good," with the desire now to put it behind them and go racing again.
"The will is for all the team to go to a fantastic track (Silverstone) and start a new racing weekend," added Domenicali.
"Unfortunately, we know in the last two races we didn't get the results we wanted. The performance was there, but the result was not.
"Even if we know that traditionally Silverstone is not a track where we perform very well, we're really looking forward to going there and seeing what the outcome will be."
