Stefano Domenicali says Ferrari qualifying improvement vital for title bid

Stefano Domenicali says "maximising qualifying" is the key target for Ferrari heading into this weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in their bid to strike back in the title battle.

Speaking to Sky Sports F1 following Alonso's stirring drive to second place in India last Sunday, Ferrari's Technical Director Pat Fry confirmed that further updates to the F2012 would continue to come on stream until the Brazil season finale and that improving qualifying was a central concern. "We've just got to keep on developing it. We've got another few updates coming for Abu Dhabi and then some more for America. So it's not over yet and we're going to keep pushing them as hard as we can," Fry said. "If we can improve our qualifying position...we make it too easy for Sebastian at the moment. He's away and cruising. We need to put him under pressure so hopefully we will be doing it in Abu Dhabi. "It's going all the way down to Brazil."
