Moscow: <\/strong>New upgrades to Ferrari’s aerodynamics have made Fernando Alonso a strong contender for the Formula One title, three-time race winner Giancarlo Fisichella said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Ferrari struggled in pre-season testing, but Alonso surprised many with a win in Malaysia and podium finishes in Spain and Monaco to lead the title race by three points from reigning champion Sebastian Vettel.<\/p>\n

“After the latest changes to the aerodynamics, you can count Alonso as one of the favorites,” Fisichella, who now works for Ferrari, said.<\/p>\n

Alonso’s under-pressure teammate Felipe Massa turned round his poor form with a sixth place finish at the last race in Monaco, Fisichella added.<\/p>\n

“Felipe Massa had some problems at the start of the season, but in the last race he drove brilliantly.”<\/p>\n

Fisichella will drive a Ferrari at a demonstration in Moscow next month, with 2008 champion Lewis Hamilton appearing in a McLaren.<\/p>\n

Fisichella partnered Alonso at Renault for his two championship-winning seasons in 2005 and 2006, and retired from the sport at the end of the 2009 season after 13 years in F1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
