Fernando Alonso believes that Ferrari have the ability to compete with rivals Red Bull next season.

Fernando Alonso has claimed that Ferrari are building a "dominant" car for next season after two seasons of struggling to compete with Red Bull.

The Spaniard believes that the team are desperate to succeed in a similar way to Red Bull.

The two-time world champion said: "Tasting wins and championships is something Ferrari is used to doing in the past decade and it's something we want to do again. From the first mechanic to the last designer, I've seen an atmosphere of full focus and a huge desire to get a dominant car.

"The former Renault driver believes that despite the team's problems last season, Ferrari have the ability to close the gap on their rivals.

"We had aerodynamic problems when the windtunnel wasn't working well. We had a different philosophy to adapt to the Pirellis, a different philosophy for the suspension and many other things. So we have a big margin to improve."

Alonso finished the season in fourth place in the drivers championship, a massive 135 points behind the eventual winner, Sebastian Vettel.
