Alonso For sure Alonso would rather change his pay for any of the other rivals in exchange for the third time crowned world champion in Formula 1.

That, plus his five victories in his first year in red Ferrari.

Alonso’s strength

A second part of the championship very sound really great and has allowed the Spaniard to go around the Formula 1 World

Brazil and Abu Dhabi, two Formula 1 races that are consecutive and technically seem matched to the characteristics of the Ferrari and Red Bull, sentencing. Predictions are open, although there are five drivers still remain possibilities, the fight appears to center and between Alonso and Webber, who are solely dependent on themselves.

Fernando Alonso has a first-ball match at Interlagos, as it would sentence her third title if he wins the race and the Australian is fifth, but it also depends on yourself and that despite not being able to be champion in Brazil if it would be in Abu Dhabi if he can win both remaining races.

There is much talk of whether a circuit is favorable to the characteristics of a car or the other, but the last reference we have is daunting: Red Bull won last year in Brazil and Abu Dhabi.

The contribution of teammates can also be decisive. A good and for evil.

More reason to believe in Alonso

AlonsoAlonso has right between the eyes victory at the Belgian Grand Prix to be held at the legendary Spa circuit and has reason to be hopeful, his car is the most reliable so far this season. Ferrari has only suffered neglect, one that took place in the Malaysian Grand Prix, during the early stages of the championship.

The great rival Alonso, Webber and Vettel have a car less reliable than the Spaniard. The Red Bulls have dropped three times, two of them because of accidents and the other due to mechanical problems. The most memorable was the abandonment of German Sebastian Vettel in the Turkish Grand Prix following his collision with team-mate, Australian Mark Webber.
