Alonso can do it, insists Ferrari president

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has issued a rallying cry ahead of Fernando Alonso’s last-ditch bid to become Formula One world champion.

Alonso goes into Sunday’s season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos 13 points adrift of Sebastian Vettel knowing he has to finish in the top three at least, whilst hoping his rival suffers a rare bad race.

The Spaniard kept himself in touch by finishing third behind runner-up Vettel in the United States Grand Prix in Austin, helped at the start by Felipe Massa who sacrificed his grid position.
