Italian Grand Prix betting - Fernando Alonso can reign at Monza

Fernando Alonso will continue his pursuit of world championship leader Sebastian Vettel in Sunday's Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

The Monza circuit is one of the best in Formula One and is steeped in history, while the Italian fans’ passion for Ferrari usually provides one of the best atmospheres of the season.

They will be hoping for an Alonso (4/1 Betfred race outright) victory but the Spaniard will have his work cut out to see off Vettel (2/1), Lewis Hamilton (5/2), Mark Webber (7/1) and Jenson Button (6/1) on Sunday.

He has only won once this season – at Silverstone in July – but remains a class act and the backing of the local fans may just hand him an advantage over his rivals and propel him to another victory.

Vettel, however, will have other ideas. The German is 92 points clear of his Red Bull team-mate Webber at the top of the standings and knows a couple more race wins will probably be enough for him to claim back-to-back world titles, although traditionally he struggles at Monza.

The Red Bulls have lacked pace in Italy before to compete with their rivals and Vettel will have to be at his very best to come out on top. He again starts on pole, though, ahead of Hamilton in second while Button and Alonso sit on the second row of the grid.

The McLaren duo of Hamilton and Button will also hope for a decent weekend and if one of the two does go on to claim victory, they will be the first Briton to win the Italian GP since David Coulthard won way back in 1997.

Button was second in this race last year and is driving well at the moment so the 2009 world champion is attractively-priced at 7/1 to be spraying the champagne come Sunday afternoon.

Webber, Felipa Massa (33/1) and Nico Rosberg (33/1) look to be the outsiders for the race, but the unpredictable nature of the Monza track means one of these could spring a surprise and claim victory although the smart money will be on Alonso taking the chequered flag to the delight of the Ferrari hordes.
