LONDON (Reuters) - Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne praised his Formula One team's progress on Monday and said the season was not lost despite a string of setbacks in recent races. Ferrari are also a hefty 145 points behind reigning champions Mercedes in the constructors' standings with four races remaining. Japan followed two other bad races for Ferrari, with Vettel starting last in Malaysia after being sidelined in qualifying by an engine problem. "The season is not lost, there's still all to do," Marchionne told Italy's Class CNBC television at a Ferrari 70th anniversary event in New York. Marchionne said Ferrari, who failed to win any races last year, had still made huge steps with Vettel winning four times this season and leading the championship from March to September.
