Fernando Alonso insists he can still win that elusive third world championship and revealed veteran motor bike rider Valentino Rossi is his inspiration.

The Spaniard last lifted the title in 2006, and moved to McLaren last year as hopes of winning at Ferrari faded.

However, Alonso’s time at the team has been miserable, but he insists he can emulate Rossi – a nine-time champion.

“After some years that you are not fighting for the championship but you keep going, going, going, you know, sooner or later you will show your talent – as Valentino is doing now,” said Alonso.

“That’s a kind of inspiration for us. You need to trust in yourself, and when you have the bike or the car that performs at the best level you will be there.

"Because you cannot forget how to ride a bike, or how to drive a car, in two or three years.”
