Spaniard Fernando Alonso says improvements to his Ferrari will boost his chances of success at the European Grand Prix in Valencia this weekend.
The double world champion drove impressively to finish behind Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button at the Canadian Grand Prix earlier this month.
It left him fourth in the overall standings with 94 points, trailing Mark Webber, Button and leader Hamilton.
If Ferrari's aerodynamics improvement delivers, Alonso and teammate Felipe Massa should be major contenders on the Valencia street circuit. With a home crowd roaring him on, Alonso is hopeful of a first win since the opening race of the year, in Bahrain in March.
