Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso has admitted that only a disaster can stop Sebastian Vettel from winning his fourth consecutive championship.
“I think for the Championship, we need to be realistic. It’s still a very big gap and we don’t have enough races and probably not have the speed right now to win some consecutive races,” Alonso said.
“We need to be lucky and we need to have some DNFs from Seb or something to win the Championship. With the races left and the points disadvantage it is hard,” he added.

Vettel increased the lead at the top to a whopping 53 points after the German won the Italian Grand Prix in style.
“There is still a long way to go. We will try until the last race to be as good as we can and score as many points as possible and in Brazil we will see how many points we have compared to this,” the Spaniard added.
Alonso’s hopes of catching up depends on the seven races left in the season with the next being at Singapore on 22 September.
