It has been far from a successful first half of the season for
Ferrari, but with the summer break underway team principal
Mattia Binotto has insisted there is still a lot for the Scuderia to race for.
Ferrari started the season with a new sense of energy as Binotto replaced Maurizio Arrivabene but the constructors are yet to win a race this season.
Charles Leclerc came close in Bahrain and Austria but was ultimately denied and
Sebastian Vettel received a controversial penalty in Canada to hand
Lewis Hamilton the victory.
Ferrari have been considerably off the pace of rivals
Mercedes for most the season and are now slipping behind
Max Verstappen at
Red Bull.
Despite their lack of downforce showing at the
Hungarian Grand Prix, Binotto insisted they won't focus on next year's car and feels there is still plenty to play for.
"Should we concentrate on next year's car? I don't think so," the Italian said as quoted by
Autosport.
"Not only because [of] having the same regulations as next year, whatever we can do this year will be to the benefit of next year's car as well.
"There are still many races, no victory for Ferrari - we have at least a goal and an objective, so we shall do whatever we can, even in this season to do our best."
