Fernando Alonso: Ferrari will beat Williams in 2014 F1 standings

Fernando Alonso is confident the Ferrari Formula 1 team will overhaul rival Williams for third place in the constructors' championship before the 2014 season ends

The Scuderia is locked in a see-saw battle with a resurgent Williams team this year.

Although Ferrari fell behind its rival with its poor Italian Grand Prix, it closed the gap back down to nine points with a stronger performance in the last race in Singapore.

"We are Ferrari, we are much more than a normal team," said Alonso during the Singapore GP weekend.

"So we just have to keep working hard and whatever is the performance of the car, whatever our advantage or disadvantage over Williams we will fight until the last lap of the last race because there are a lot of points in the table.

"There is Abu Dhabi with double points and there is a lot of opportunities that we will have to close that gap.

"I'm confident that at the end of the championship we will beat Williams."

Alonso believes Ferrari got its weakest point of the season out of the way with Spa and Monza, where its power deficit to Williams and the other Mercedes-engined teams was more evident.

"We passed Spa and Monza, which were difficult tracks for us - we knew that," he said.

"Williams managed to maximise those points and they did a good job."
