MADRID (AP) — Formula One championship leader Sebastian Vettel looks to get back to winning ways at the European Grand Prix, while Fernando Alonso hopes to revive his dwindling title chances with victory in front of his home fans at Valencia’s street circuit.
Jenson Button’s dramatic victory at the preceding Canadian GP was McLaren’s second win in seven races, with Vettel winning the rest to establish a healthy 60-point lead over Button.
But Alonso, who trails Vettel by 92 points, is confident Ferrari can challenge the German Red Bull driver since “we showed we were clearly capable of winning” at the last two races.
Lewis Hamilton also looks to rebound from several poor performances for McLaren.
