Sebastian Vettel insists the atmosphere at Ferrari is still positive and thinks it is wrong to suggest the team cannot win in any of the remaining races of 2016.Vettel looked to be in with a shot of a first win of 2016 in Singapore but a roll-bar failure in qualifying forced him to start from the back of the grid. His pace was good enough to battle back to fifth position, with his lap times suggesting he could have been a contender had he started higher up.When told that Mercedes believe he could have won the race had he started from the front two rows, Vettel replied: Well, I didnt start in the top four, thats the bad news! We could talk about it for longer, in terms of what if, but it doesnt really matter.But generally we feel good, the atmosphere is good, theres some bits [for the car] that were here to try and find out if they work. But overall were making progress. Our season... Singapore maybe is a good reflection! Didnt go according to plan, could have been better, but it doesnt matter, arriving here we try to go all out, maximum attack.This weekend Vettel returns to the scene of his first Ferrari victory at last years Malaysian Grand Prix, one of three visits to the top step in 2015. Howevver, despite high expectations coming into this season Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen are yet to visit the top step - though Vettel thinks it is wrong to rule out a win before the end of the year.ddddddddddddsked if Ferraris best chance for a win had gone, Vettel replied: No, not at all. Theres always a chance to win. Starting last in Singapore, a lot of people didnt know what to expect. We knew where we should go with the pace we had and you never know, with a Safety Car at a different time it could have been a completely different race as well, even better or the other way round.Theres always a lot of things that could happen on Sunday afternoon and thats ultimately why we are here. Thats my conviction and thats my feeling whenever Im standing on the grid, that theres always a chance to win. For sure the higher up you are, statistically the higher your chances, but Im convinced theres always a chance to win.We have six races left and our target is to do well at all of them and win at all of them, which is very ambitious, but we will go race by race and see what we can do.
