Jean Alesi: "Championship possible for Ferrari"

Jean Alesi believes that Ferrari is fully capable of winning the 2017 world championship, something they haven't done since 2008. Alesi raced for the Maranello based team from 1991 to 1995, picking up one career victory in 1995.

Ferrari has come out of the blocks in resurgence in 2017. The team currently leads both constructor and driver standings as they challenge Mercedes for both titles. Alesi thinks that the opportunity is there for them.

"Ferrari is Formula 1 history," he is quoted by Italian media, "and they are doing a great season. Canada is a high-speed track with particular characteristics and I think Ferrari will be strong. Changes of direction and high-speed braking are very strong points of the machine.

"Are they favourites for the title? If we speak only about facts, so far if they do not win then they are second, so I really hope it will be a grand finale," Alesi added.

    I'm counting on it. I've put fifty bucks on a Ferrari championship.

      9/1 when I placed the bet before the season started. But I guess it won't be as high anymore now.

  • I'd like it very much if they won.
