Alonso back on track as Lady Luck smiles again

FERNANDO ALONSO stands on the brink of securing a third Formula One world title in Brazil in a fortnight after admitting luck was again on his side following a chaotic Korean Grand Prix victory.

A seemingly unstoppable Alonso has now won three of the last four races, and four of the last seven, taking 133 points from a possible 175 in the process.

It has been a phenomenal turnaround from the Spaniard, whose two previous championship triumphs in 2005 and 2006 were clinched at Interlagos, and which may yet happen again in 2010.
