Ferrari have to get both their drivers on the podium in the remaining races of the Formula One season or forget about winning any titles, team boss Jean Todt said on Sunday.

"A second and 13th place are a meagre reward for this weekend," he said in a team statement at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

"There is a slightly bitter taste at seeing how competitive we were in the race with Kimi (Raikkonen), as it showed yet again that starting from the front is vital.

"We knew this track would not suit us that well. Now we need to try and get both our drivers on the podium all the time to try and make up the gaps in both championships for the remaining third of the season," said the Frenchman.

"We have all we need -- the team, the car and the drivers -- but we have not always been able to put them all together to the best effect. If we don't manage it, the championships will not be won."

Ferrari squandered a golden opportunity at the Hungaroring, with leaders McLaren barred from scoring any constructors' points as punishment for a pole position controversy in Saturday's qualifying.

In the end they managed to cut McLaren's advantage from 27 points to 19.

They should have cut it further but Brazilian Felipe Massa's race was wrecked when the team failed to refuel his car in Saturday's second qualifying session, leaving him starting from 14th place.

"It was a horrible race, there are no other words to describe it," Massa said of his afternoon.

The Brazilian was overtaken in the standings by Raikkonen, but both Ferrari drivers remain well off the pace set by McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.

Raikkonen is 20 points behind the Briton while Massa is one further back with six rounds remaining
