Fernando Alonso says he can end Michael Schumacher's run of success
Renault's Fernando Alonso said he was "very optimistic" of stopping rival Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher's run of success at Sunday's German Grand Prix.
Ferrari's Michael Schumacher has won the last two races to close to within 17 points of Fernando Alonso in the championship; however, the reigning champion said he was confident he would return to winning.
"I am feeling very optimistic," Fernanado Alonso said. "We had a strong first half of the season and I think we can finish 2006 the way we started it."
But Fernando Alonso admitted it was important to turn the tables on Ferrari as soon as possible and, in particular, at Michael Schumacher's home race.
"It's important to beat Michael at every race - not just Hockenheim," Fernando Alonso said.
Renault have been struggling to match Ferrari in the last two races as the Italian team's tyre supplier Bridgestone has appeared to enjoy an advantage over Renault's partner Michelin.
