Alonso rates championship chances at 50%

9 August 2010

Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso is currently fifth in the Formula 1 championship with 141 points, twenty points behind on championship leader Mark Webber. Following his race win in Germany just over two weeks ago the Spaniard rates his chances to win the championship this season at 50%.


Speaking about his championship chances Alonso said: “It only took us two normal races to be fully back in contention for the F1 title. It’s true we are still behind in the classification and it is always better to be in front, but I am convinced that in the final sprint, by which I mean the last two or three races, we will be closer to the top than we are now. The important thing is to remain calm and concentrated and to do our job well.

“It’s hard to say who is my strongest rival: we are all almost equal. Maybe, Hamilton, Button and myself, who have already won a title, will tackle the final rush in a calmer way, having already experienced something similar. Percentage chance? I’d say 50%, which is the normal state of affairs…”
