Sebastian Vettel has rejected the idea of using a sports psychologist to help him in his title fight with Lewis Hamilton and said on Thursday that he and Ferrari plan an unchanged approach.
The four-time world champion German lies 40 points adrift of Mercedes' Hamilton ahead of this weekend's Russian Grand Prix after being swept aside by the dominant Briton in Italy and Singapore.
But, he said, he and his team will not give up.
"I think it's very simple from where we are," he told reporters Thursday.
"We are some points behind and we need to catch up to make sure we stay there. That's our target and the best way to do that is to finish ahead, and ideally ahead of everybody.
"So the plan doesn't really change. Obviously, at this point, we try to give it everything we have and I still believe that we have the chance.

"I think we have a fair chance. We had races in the past that we should have won and we didn't. And we had others that we won -- (when) we shouldn't have.
"You never know what happens, but anything is possible. I'm not aiming to win all six races. First of all, I'm aiming to win here, then once that's done we go to the next one and we go to the next one.
"I don't think there's much point looking five, six races ahead. I think you're much better off staying in the moment at what lies in front of you."
