Fernado Alonso more convinced than ever that he will win the drivers' title

Fernando Alonso has told Sky Sports F1 he is now more confident of winning the drivers' World Championship, despite ceding more ground to Sebastian Vettel in the Indian Grand Prix.

Alonso overtook both Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button in the early stages of the race and believed he capitalised on discord in the McLaren camp. "It was a good race for us - I got the maximum out of the car," he said. "The start was good and then it went as planned after turn three, overtaking the two McLarens. "I think in that team there is not a very good atmosphere at the minute and, when they were fighting each other, they forgot that I was in the middle. "But we managed to escape without any incident and I got past (Lewis) Hamilton in that manoeuvre, and then Jenson (Button) a couple of laps later. "After that we were concentrating on the Red Bull. Mark (Webber) was very strong but, with his KERS problem, we managed to overtake him. It was damage limitation in this race but I am sure we will fight stronger in the next one."
