Alonso looks to have title in bag despite Montoya victory

COLOMBIAN Juan Pablo Montoya claimed his second win of the season and sixth of his career yesterday when he triumphed for McLaren Mercedes in a tense Italian Grand Prix.

But the result did no favours for his championship-chasing team-mate Finn Kimi Raikkonen, who suffered a frustrating and incident-filled day, in a fighting fourth place.

Championship leader Fernando Alonso cruised home second, ahead of his Renault team-mate Italian Giancarlo Fisichella to tighten their grip on the leadership in the championships.
