Ferrari could take title says Alonso

Fernando Alonso believes Ferrari's versatility could translate into victory in this season's Formula One title.

"Despite failing to score in Spa, where the accident on the first lap weighed heavily like a stone, Ferrari and I have scored more points than anyone else in these last four races," said Alonso.

"That makes us even more confident, and the fact these results were on tracks with very different characteristics to one another, confirms our car is pretty versatile."

"Feeling so close to the tifosi that I had the impression I could touch their enthusiasm with my hand was really something special," added Alonso.

"There is a passion for Ferrari all over the world, but in Italy it is stronger still, and I was fortunate enough to be at the wheel of an Italian car winning the Italian Grand Prix.

"A few days on from that really happy moment in Monza, we can claim to have made a good step forward.

"At Spa, things did not go well, so it was hard to say beforehand what we might really be capable of.

"However, we knew that as long as we did our best, we would be in with a chance and that's how things turned out.

"Now our aim must be to try and do the same in the final five races of the championship."
