Domenicali: Both drivers will work for team

The reigning world champion is 21 points behind Lewis Hamilton and 20 behind his teammate, Felipe Massa, and is expected to play a supporting role to Massa from here on.

Raikkonen has not publicly stated that he will try to help Massa, instead saying he hopes to pull off a repeat of last season when he overcame a 17-point deficit with two races to go to win the championship.

"It's not over yet, but now it will take a miracle, one that makes lightning strike twice," he said. "I will never forget what happened last year and I want to repeat it again."

But Domenicali insists that what's best for the team will come first.

"The fight for the two titles will be very close," said the Italian. "Kimi and Felipe met president (Luca) di Montezemolo who made it very clear that, as usual, Ferrari's simple target come the end of the season is to win both titles.

"Both drivers will be working towards this target over the remaining four races, knowing that, as always for the Scuderia, the good of the team comes first."
