BARCELONA. Spanish Grand Prix winner Fernando Alonso says he would happily forego another race victory this season so long as he took the title, but the Ferrari driver really has every chance of success on both fronts.Sunday’s triumph at the Circuit de Catalunya is unlikely to be his last and the Spaniard is increasingly a favourite to add that elusive third title to his name by the end of the championship.Asked whether he felt he now had his best shot of the title in four years with Ferrari, the 31-year-old - winner of two of the five races so far - nodded: "Probably yes, in terms of performance of the car."We should have won the championship, I believe, in 2010,” he added, scratching the sore of a year when he arrived at the season-ending race in Abu Dhabi with a healthy lead over Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel only to lose everything through a botched strategy."Last year maybe we didn’t deserve it because we were one second off the pace but even with that we managed to fight until Brazil,” added the Spaniard of a season that saw him lose to Vettel by three points.The winner of two titles with Renault is now third overall, 17 points behind leader Vettel - who finished fourth on Sunday after struggling with tyre wear - with 14 races to come. Raikkonen is 13 points ahead of Alonso.
