Alonso aiming for Singapore podium finish

Unsurprisingly, in the immediate aftermath of 'Crashgate', Fernando Alonso remains hushed over last year's controversial Singapore Grand Prix but believes that a podium result is a realistic goal for the second Formula One night race on the streets of Marina Bay.

Alonso retains his 2008 win in Singapore City, despite Renault team members having been found guilty of fixing the result with use of their other car. However, the former double World Champion is focussing solely upon this season's event.

"I like it because it's quite challenging and there are some interesting corners, like the high-speed chicane at Turn 10 where you have to carry a lot of speed and use the curbs," he said of the corner now named 'Singapore Sling' after the well-known national cocktail. "Overtaking isn't easy in Singapore but there are some opportunities."

Other corners have also been named ahead of this year's race; Turn 1 will be known as 'Sheares' in honour of the Benjamin Sheares Bridge - home of a four-lane carriageway - running over the top of it. Also, Turn 7 is labelled 'Memorial' due to being situated near the War Memorial.

"The car is working well at most circuits so I believe we are competitive enough to get close to the podium, which has to be my target this weekend," Fernando added.

Schumacher tips Button for title

Seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher believes that Jenson Button will hold onto his points lead to successfully become the second consecutive British F1 Champion this year. The German, who retired at the end of 2006, sees Red Bull's engine situation as a large disadvantage to the championship-leading Brawn team.

With four races still to go this season, Red Bull Racing is perilously close making use of a ninth engine for both of its drivers and therefore facing a 10-place grid drop. Since the start of 2009, every driver in the field is allocated 8 powerplants although Mark Webber has just one fresh unit remaining with team-mate Sebastian Vettel already using his.

"Looking at the situation, I would pretty much expect Jenson to win this title," Schumacher said in the Race of Champions (ROC) podcast ahead of the Shanghai event in early November. "It's very hard to take it away, particularly knowing the problems and the reliability issues they have had at Red Bull."

A title win for Somerset's Button would mean, not only had the 29-year-old wrapped up the crown in his tenth Formula One season, but Britain would enjoy two successive Drivers' Championship victories for the first time since Jackie Stewart stole Graham Hill's title 30 years ago.

AC Milan face Kacar competition

It is reported Milan are battling Juventus and Inter for the signature of wide midfielder Goiko Kacar of Hetha Berlin.

The Serbian international is one of the key players in the Bundesliga side and has been compared to a young Sinisa Mihajlovic.

Coach Leonardo has asked for reinforcements on the flanks since taking over from Carlo Ancelotti in June, but so far the club has failed to fulfil those requests.

Milan director Ariedo Braida was in the stands for Wednesday’s World Cup qualifier between Serbia and France in Belgrade.

However, other figures present at that game included scouts from Juventus and Inter, who are also interested in Kacar.

The Rossoneri have the advantage with an EU space available thanks to the termination of their contract with South American Tabarè Viudez.

Inzaghi wary of Chelsea threat

Source: Football Italia

Beware of Chelsea in the Champions League – that’s the cry from Milan hotshot Filippo Inzaghi after Europe’s premier competition kicked off this week.

Although Super Pippo admits that reigning champions Barcelona will be hard to beat, he feels the London club will be contenders for the ultimate prize.

“Barcelona remain the favourites for me, but I think we’ll have to pay attention to Carlo Ancelotti’s Chelsea,” said the veteran.

Inzaghi knows Ancelotti well having been bossed by the tactician at both Juventus and Milan in the past.

The Rossoneri themselves opened their European account with a 2-1 win at Marseille thanks to a double from the Peter Pan of Calcio.

“It is a peculiar tournament,” added Inzaghi. “We won the first game, but we are now obliged to win the second before the two massive encounters against Real Madrid.

“It’s great for me to score for Milan in Europe though.

“It’s very satisfying because players like George Weah, Marco Van Basten and Andriy Shevchenko have played for this team. To be ahead of them is an honour.”

The San Siro giants were desperate for victory on Tuesday after a mixed start to the Serie A campaign at home.

“Milan shouldn’t start making plans for a project, we just need to live one day at a time and grow,” he urged.

“We started the season well [with a win at Siena], but then we lost badly in the derby [4-0 to Inter] and then didn’t play brilliantly at Livorno [0-0].

“We’ve now picked ourselves up again, but we need to be more consistent.”

Milan face Bologna at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday.
