Jul.18 (GMM) Fernando Alonso has predicted a two-way fight for the 2008 championship between Ferrari's race drivers.

Without actually mentioning the name of his 2007 McLaren teammate, former double world champion Alonso - who drives for Renault - seemed to discount the possibility that Lewis Hamilton will still be fighting for the crown by the end of the season.

In the drivers' classification at present, Hamilton is among a three-way points tie with Ferrari's Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen.

"The title?" Alonso, 26, is quoted as saying at Hockenheim by Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"It is a question that will involve only Raikkonen and Massa in the second part of the championship," he added.
