After his retirement at the Canadian GP, Fernando Alonso sees its gap at the head of the Championship widen further. The Asturian is now 92 points behind Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), but he still wants to believe in his chances as long as he can mathematically be Champion.

“The title is not yet lost because there is still a mathematical chance of winning”, comments Fernando Alonso to the AS newspaper. “We have already seen recalls in recent years, like Hamilotn did last season in Singapore and Monza. If we win two races and Vettel is outside the points, the gap will decrease significantly. »

However, the Spaniard concedes that these prospects no longer depend solely on his own results. “It is no longer in our hands. We have to concentrate every weekend, trying to do our best, race after race, to be on the podium and seek victory. If Red Bull doesn't make any mistakes, they are in a very good position in the Championship. »
