Ferrari insist Spa step forward gives hope that they can still hunt down Red Bull
But Domenicali makes clear they have to kick on from here

Ferrari are refusing to accept that the 2013 World Championship is beyond them despite Fernando Alonso losing more ground to Sebastian Vettel at the Belgian GP, with the team believing their F138 development programme is now back on track.
Alonso himself was also keen to draw parallels on Sunday night with the swift turnaround in fortunes he suffered at the hands of Red Bull after the summer break in 2012, with the Spaniard also buoyed by the way Ferrari have got out of their recent slump. "We understood the problem, we analysed everything and all the things that we are now bringing to the races are delivering what we expected, finally, so this gives us the possibility to get our good form back but we still have to recover some of the gap, to fight for pole positions etc but the Championship is very long, and as I said before, the example is what happened to us last year," the two-times World Champion said. "If you have a competitive car and you win four or five consecutive races like Sebastian did last year in India, Japan, Singapore etc, you recover very quickly. If we are in the position to do that, we will find out very soon."
