Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali has told his staff to find themselves another job if they do not believe the world title can be won this season.

Domenicali's blunt message was delivered on Friday night at the monthly meeting of the Scuderia's senior management as he seeks a reversal in fortunes.

Despite major upgrades on the car at the last two races, drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa have collected just four points from the events in Silverstone and Valencia.

Notwithstanding Ferrari failing to collect a point for the first time this year in last Sunday's British Grand Prix, Alonso made it clear he still feels he can be champion for a third time.

Although Alonso is 47 points behind McLaren's Lewis Hamilton in the standings, and the team 113 behind their main rivals in the constructors', Domenicali is with the Spaniard.

"Anyone who does not believe that we can win the world championship would do better looking for another job," said Domenicali on the team's official website.

"No-one here is giving up. There are still nine races to go and anything can happen."
