Ferrari chief predicts 'big battle' for F1 crown


(CNN) -- Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo is predicting a fight to the finish in the race to crown this year's Formula One world champion and has renewed his attack on the smaller teams struggling to keep pace with their more illustrious rivals.
Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso has won the past two races to surge back into contention in one of the closest title races in years.
With four races remaining, five drivers are still in with a chance of taking the crown, with Alonso 11 points behind leader Mark Webber of Red Bull.
The McLarens of Lewis Hamilton and defending champion Jenson Button, and the Red Bull of Sebastien Vettel, are all within 25 points of Webber.
"It will be a big battle," Montezemolo told CNN. "Our season has been strange because we won the first race, then we had troubles, but in the last five races we won three so I think we are in very good shape and I always think Ferrari is in condition to win the championship.
"My goal is to have Ferrari always on top".
