Niki Lauda predicts Alonso to win

Niki Lauda says Alonso stands the best chance to win the Driver's Championship this season. Osterreich

Though the Spaniard is still 11 points behind championship leader Mark Webber, with only 4 races to go, Lauda feels Alonso has the edge over the Australian.

“Why?” the Austrian asked rhetorically. “Because he has twice been champion, and not by chance. He is the best driver today."

“When you assess together a driver’s speed, intelligence, ability to take risks efficiently to score maximum points always, he is simply the best,” said Lauda, in an interview to local Austrian newspaper Osterreich.

Speaking of Webber, he felt the Australian has “surprised everyone” this season with his consistency.

But he thinks the Red Bull driver will only beat Alonso if his car is “clearly superior” to the Ferrari.

Also, despite his earlier criticism of Ferrari on the alleged team orders at German GP, he said observers can only respect Ferrari at this decisive phase of the championship because “they will do everything possible to bridge the gap separating them from Red Bull”.
