3. Ferrari Challenge

The closest challenge to Red Bull will be given by Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso, who will be competing alongside Webber for his third win at the circuit. His previous victory came in 2011 and he won his first race in 2006 when he was racing for Renault.

As a young driver, he plied his trade against Michael Schumacher at the circuit and overpowered him. Alonso desperately needs a victory to close the gap on Vettel, who threatens to run away with the title again this season.
