Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicali has vowed he will leave no stone unturned in a bid to discover the reason behind the team's engine woes.
Just three weeks after Felipe Massa saw victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix disappear in a cloud of oil smoke three laps from home, Kimi Raikkonen followed suit at Valencia on Sunday when running fifth.
It was a wretched end to a miserable European Grand Prix weekend for the reigning world champion, in particular as moments earlier he had run over one of his own mechanics during a pit stop.
Domenicali knows the engine issues have to be cracked, otherwise his team could lose both the drivers' and constructors' titles currently in their possession.
"Unfortunately, yet again, we have suffered with a reliability problem, this time on Kimi's car, which lost us precious points," reflected Domenicali.
"Now we have to find out what happened in yet another engine failure, and then decide how to react.
"Clearly what happened is serious and we will have to do all in our power to make up for the ground we have lost through reliability problems in the coming races.
"Now we must continue to push to the maximum to develop the car and improve reliability in order to be as well prepared as possible for the forthcoming races.
"We still have two test sessions, at Monza and then Jerez, and a lot of hard days work in the factory."
The one consolation for Domenicali was Massa's victory, erasing the heartache suffered just three weeks previously in Budapest.
"Felipe had an extraordinary weekend," enthused Domenicali with regard to the Brazilian who claimed fastest lap on top of pole and his win.
"He was very quick in qualifying and then he drove in impeccable style, without putting a foot wrong, to take what was a very well deserved win after the disappointment of Budapest.
"I want to compliment him and the whole team who worked so hard in preparing for the event."
However, Domenicali faces not just one, but two post-race inquests given what transpired during Raikkonen's second pit stop.
Raikkonen has admitted responsibility for pulling away too early, with the fuel hose still attached to his car, which resulted in a foot fracture and sore back for Piero Timpini.
Remarkably, Domenicali revealed: "His first words were to say sorry, as though the incident was his fault.
"It is thanks to the passion, dedication and professionalism these guys show that prove how special Ferrari is."
