Alonso admits title battle with Schumacher is now personal

FERNANDO ALONSO admits his world championship struggle with Michael Schumacher is now personal.

The Renault driver, who ended Schumacher’s unbroken five-year run of success by taking last year’s crown, is being hunted down in the standings by the Ferrari ace.

Over the last four races, Schumacher has slashed Alonso’s advantage by 15 points to just 10 heading into the final five races of the campaign.
