Domenicali hace 2 horas, vía aup:
"We have understood the problem with the car," he said. "What we have to see after the understanding is the fixing, and not only the fixing – but to fix it as soon as possible."
There have been suggestions that Ferrari could need a dramatic rethink of its car plans – with a new chassis or revised suspension concept – if it was to recover.
However, Domenicali has dismissed such an idea – and said that the focus is on more normal development updates.
"No, in terms of the chassis there is nothing going ahead," he said. "In terms of developments: yes, there are a lot of things that have to be improved because as qualifying showed, we have fundamental issues – one is the speed, and the other thing is the traction. They are the two fundamental things that we need to work hard to fix."
Ferrari is not planning on bringing any upgrades to this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix, but Alonso says hopes are high of new items coming for the races in China and Bahrain.
"Obviously the car will be nearly identical [in Malaysia] because it's next weekend, but we will try to improve something in the set-ups, so the set-up is right for that circuit," he said.
"And then for China, Bahrain etcetera, they will bring some updates. Hopefully it will get better."
