The Italians' team boss Stefano Domenicali claimed Hamilton can be beaten to the title despite a pit-stop farce that cost Felipe Massa victory in the Singapore Grand Prix, which was won by Fernando Alonso.

The Brazilian trailed home 13th after losing precious time when he was released from a pit stop with the fuel hose still attached to his car, and third place for Hamilton means the McLaren ace now has a seven-point lead in the championship.

Yet Domenicali, who also saw Massa's team-mate Kimi Raikkonen crash out of Formula One's first night race, insisted his team can bounce back.

He said: "The objective is very clear. We have three races to go and we will approach those three races with the intention of finishing first and second every time.

"It won't be easy but we have the potential to do it, the motivation is there, and the team is still very strong."

But Hamilton is planning to ignore the Ferrari threats and simply concentrate on what his own team are doing.

He said: "As we saw in Singapore, lots of things can happen in a race.

"We'll just focus on doing a solid job and scoring more points. It's all about scoring points now."
