Monza a must-win for Ferrari
If Fernando Alonso is to mount a serious challenge to Sebastian Vettel, he has to win at Monza, writes EDD STRAW, as he looks ahead to this weekend's big talking points
With seven races remaining, it seems counter-intuitive to put undue emphasis on the Italian Grand Prix. After all, winning it is worth the same 25 points the other six offer.
But for Fernando Alonso, it is the definition of a must-win.
