Fernando Alonso has insisted that the rebuke he received from Luca di Montezemolo after the Hungarian GP was based on "wrong information" the Ferrari President had received.

Turning to the title run-in, Alonso said that "the pattern will be decided in the next four races - what are the performances of the cars at the next four races. "We have Spa, medium downforce, then Monza, low downforce, then Singapore, high downforce. We clearly have three different set-ups and configurations on the car and this will tell us who the main contender for Vettel is. "For sure, he's the big favourite. Who will catch him, or who will put him in big difficulties, we will see in the next three races." But what of his and Ferrari's chances? "It's difficult but we need to keep believing that we can do it," added Alonso, who currently stands 39 points behind Championship leader Vettel. "The last two or three seasons, we've had some good examples of what we can do and what we can hope if we do things right. "For this, we need to improve the car; we need to make some parts work. The first step is here in Spa."
