Ferrari’s Alonso leads Hamilton by 37 points with seven rounds remaining but the Briton has hauled himself into contention by winning two of the last three races to loom large in the Spaniard’s wing mirrors.

McLaren’s Hamilton sits a point ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and two ahead of defending champion Sebastian Vettel whose Red Bull team mate Mark Webber is a further eight points adrift in fifth place.
