Ferrari chief Stefano Domenicali says his team must change their mentality to reverse the worst start to a Formula One season since 1992.
The Italian outfit, who won the constructors' championships last year ahead of McLaren, have yet to win a point this year after two races.
The only other team in their predicament is Force India.
Domenicali said they were not panicking, but things had to change.
"We are very disappointed because, once again, we leave a circuit empty handed," he said.
"Clearly, we have to extricate ourselves from this situation, without panicking but with every one of us taking on our responsibilities.
"We have to dig deep and react, starting immediately.
"We have to change our mentality and accept that we are in a different situation to the past and that therefore we have to tackle it with a different approach, both on track and in Maranello."
The main problem for Ferrari is that Brawn, Toyota and Williams are using new rear diffusers that give extra pace. Ferrari, along with others, have protested and their appeal will be heard on April 14.
But the team also seem to be suffering from complacency, starting with the decision for Felipe Massa to run only four laps in Malaysian qualifying, believing he was fast enough to ensure he would be in the next practice round.
It backfired badly and the Brazilian started 16th on the grid.
During the race, the team also misjudged their pit-stop strategy, giving Kimi Raikkonen the wrong type of tyres.
"With hindsight, it's clear that we took some wrong decisions, especially in Kimi's case at his first pit stop," admitted Domenicali.
"Felipe was very unlucky: another 40 seconds or so and he could have stayed on track with the extreme wet tyres, finishing in a good position at the end of the race."
Massa ended ninth in Sunday's rain-shortened race, while Raikkonen was 14th.
"We need to start from zero," said Massa.
"We need to get together to understand point by point what is going wrong. And, try to improve everything. That is the idea.
"We were not great before and stupid now. For sure the car is not strong enough. We need to work on that, and we did some mistakes on the strategy and this kind of thing."
Raikkonen, who won in Malaysia last year, said the team needed to take a long, hard look at itself.
"Clearly, we cannot be happy with our start to the season: in Melbourne, I was the one to make a mistake and today it was the team, the result being we find ourselves without any points," said the former world champion.
