Former Ferrari sporting director Cesare Fiorio claims the Scuderia's implosion has come about due to the fallibility of their drivers and their management's inability to implement sound strategies.
After a solid start to the season, Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa have managed just three podiums and one victory in their last 12 combined starts.
That leaves the Ferrari duo five and eight points respectively adrift of an in-form Lewis Hamilton in the Championship standings.
And Fiorio, who Ferrari's chief from 1989 to 1991, reckons the Maranello-based team's season has been hampered by mistakes from the pitwall and in the cockpit.
He told Motorsport Aktuell: "I suspect the Ferrari is still the best car but it is being spoiled by errors from the command post and by the drivers."
And Fioro suggests that if the Italian marque must back one of their drivers if they want to stay in the title race.
He concluded: "Ferrari need to decide on who to put the money on - Massa or Raikkonen."
