Your View: Is Alonso now in the driver’s seat for title?

Following his much-praised drive in Singapore, Ferrariโ€™s Fernando Alonso is not holding back on the challenge that lies ahead or his confidence that the driverโ€™s title is his to claim:

"

โ€œRight now, at this point of the championship, Iโ€™m at a peak โ€“ 100% motivated, focused etc,โ€ said Alonso.

โ€œA championship that is nine months long rarely happens in other sports.

โ€œWe are in a sport where you cannot be completely fit, focused and motivated 100% at every race, every month. You are up and down.

โ€œSometimes in past championships in September, I was getting tired, what with all these long flights, getting very stressed.

โ€œBut this year it is different. It feels like the championship is starting now, so I feel very happy we will be going to Japan next race.โ€

"

Thatโ€™s via the BBC.

Soโ€ฆ is the Spaniard right? Is he now the man to beat? As a reminder, hereโ€™s where the top five drivers stand with four races left (if Korea makes it):

"

1 Mark Webber Australian RBR-Renault 202
2 Fernando Alonso Spanish Ferrari 191
3 Lewis Hamilton British McLaren-Mercedes 182
4 Sebastian Vettel German RBR-Renault 181
5 Jenson Button British McLaren-Mercedes 177

"

Your view: Who is in the driverโ€™s seat for the 2010 title? Is it Alonso? One of the other four?
