Kimi Raikkonen says there is little satisfaction to be taken from his points lead over teammate Sebastian Vettel while Ferrari is not leading the championship.
Raikkonen is second in the championship, 39 points behind runaway leader Nico Rosberg. Since his retirement in Australia the 2007 world champion has been on the podium at three of the last four races and has a 13-point cushion over Vettel.
However, on top of Rosberg's sizeable championship lead, Ferrari has slipped 48 points behind Mercedes in the constructors' after five races. Raikkonen says the Italian team is only interested in the standings if a red car is at the top.
"We're not leaders, I'm second and Seb is somewhere close behind me, but this is just after five races," Raikkonen said. "We want to be one-two in the championship, that's the main thing. A lot of things can happen and right now our main focus is to win races and be up there in every race, fighting for wins - as a team that's what we want.
"Obviously we want to be up there with two cars and if the current situation is nice, still the focus for us is to win races and be up there, solidly the team that people try to beat. That gives, at least for me, a lot more satisfaction than where we are in the championship after five races.
"One race can change the positions and then people will look at it in a completely different way. What matters are the points at the end of the year and, for me, that we can push ourselves to be where we want to be."
Though Ferrari failed to capitalise on Mercedes' collision in Spain, a race won by Red Bull's Max Verstappen, Raikkonen refuses to believe the pecking order has changed in one race.
"It's not just them, everybody has been trying to beat Mercedes, all the teams want to be at the front and we want to be there also. Obviously what happened to Mercedes in the last race gave us an opportunity and we managed to come out in second and third place. We'd much rather be the winners but it didn't happen.
"Still, it doesn't mean we are behind Red Bull, in Barcelona they were ahead of us with one car, but we definitively think we are ahead of them [on pace]. We definitively want to be winners , that's always the aim, it was the aim last year and also the years before that. We keep working hard, on the things we can do, but it takes time and it's not going to happen overnight, we need some patience.
"In Barcelona we had an opportunity but we didn't manage to take it for many reasons. But I don't think Red Bull is suddenly ahead of us - it's just what happened in the last race."
