Todt frustrated but refuses to give up titles

Alonso took a step nearer the world championship title after again taking
advantage of chief rival Kimi Raikkonen's engine problems to sneak his sixth win
of the season.
Ferrari have struggled with grip on their Bridgestone tyres all year, with
Todt citing issues with the manner in which their tyres evolve over the course
of a race as the main reason for their disappointing form.
"We need to identify how to improve the grip on the car so we may find a
solution soon, (but) we may not find one," added Todt.
"I'm sure we will find it, but I'm far from knowing when exactly we will find
it.
"We just need to focus, to concentrate and to address the problem well and we
will solve the situation. I would have preferred to solve it quicker and earlier
but it's not the case.
"If you look at the evolution of the times, it's clear that we miss grip
because of degradation of our tyres during the course of the race, or we don't
have enough grip for qualifying, or we have an excess of degradation during the
course of the race.
"But sometimes we don't see in private testing what we see during the race,
because the temperatures are different, because the rubber on the tarmac is
different, because there are so many elements."
