Singapore - Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali on Saturday expected tougher times to come for the Scuderia after a disappointing qualifying for Sunday's Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix. "Our package just wasn't quick enough in this qualifying session," said Domenicali, whose drivers Kimi Raikkonen and Giancarlo Fisichella will start from place 13 and 18, respectively.

"Furthermore, if so many of our competitors continue to develop their cars, while we stopped doing so with ours several weeks ago, then the more time goes by, the more we will find ourselves in an even more difficult situation," he said.

For the Singapore GP, Domenicali said, "it will be difficult to reach our minimum target of finishing in the top eight."

Fisichella said he still had not found "the right level of confidence" in the car.

"It's almost as if it is driving me rather than the other way round," he said.

Getting into the points in Singapore's night race "would be the maximum, but even that will be a very tough target to reach."

His teammate Raikkonen agreed, noting that "we can expect a tough race as it is very difficult to overtake here."
