Alonso confident for last two races

After surprising even himself by winning the last two races in Singapore and Japan, Fernando Alonso says that he believes in his heart that he can be a contender at the front of the final two rounds of the season in China and Brazil.

"I am still thinking not, but my heart says yes," Alonso said of whether he could be a challenger in the last two races. "The feeling I have now is that we can do anything because of a circuit like this and we were not too light of fuel."

"Regarding the laps people stopped today in the first stint, yesterday's qualifying is a real fourth place, so I am still confident for the next two races," he added. "Maybe no wins but who knows, maybe podiums are possible now."
