Fernando Alonso said Friday the battle for Formula One primacy could be a lot tighter this year ahead of his bid to recover on two runner-up places after Sebastian Vettel with a maiden title for Ferrari. Last season's world championship was amazing for the fact there were seven race-winners in the first seven races before Alonso went toe-to-toe with Red Bull leading Vettel in a decisive, exciting finale at Interleague.

Vettel, the sport's youngest-ever three-time world winner (2010, 2011, 2012), finished sixth at the famous Brazilian circuit, where Alonso was second, to beat his Spanish competitor to the title by only three points.

Alonso, speaking at the start of Ferrari's new F138 car for the upcoming season, indicates that their predictable duel in 2013 could leave rivals straggling in their wake from the season-opening Australian GP in March.

"I think the probability of seeing seven different race winners in the first seven races, like last year, will be unfeasible," he said. "There will be a utmost of two or three teams" combat for the title, he added, "and one of those will absolutely be Ferrari."

Webber promise to Battle Vettel for F1 Title

Mark Webber promise to push Sebastian Vettel for the 2013 world title when their winner Red Bull team launches its new Formula One car on Sunday. The veteran Australian has had to play second swindle to the all successful Vettel in the past three seasons, in spite of at stages being in argument for his maiden championship.

"I do consider I can have a break at the championship again this year, as I have done in preceding seasons," Webber told journalists at the RB9's launch at the team's English H.Q. in Milton Keynes.

"That is my goal and what I think concerning each day when I get up, and I'm effective hard with the team on doing that.”They distinguish I need 100% supports. You cannot win a world name with only 90, you need 100, and we're going into 2013 with this in place, and I'm relaxed with that."

Ferrari introduces the new F138 for F1 Race 2013

The 2013 Formula One racing season begins March 17 at Albert Park in Melbourne in front of a swarm probable to comprise around 330,000 race fans at the Australian Grand Prix. With only slight changes made in the Formula One policy for this year, the differences between the F2012 and Ferrari's 2013 entry, the F138, are evolutionary rather than innovatory. But even though the informal eye will not distinguish a great deal of difference in the F138, most of the parts and systems have been modifying to maximize presentation while maintaining Ferrari's admirable dependability.

Beginning with the external essentials, the widely-hated stepped nose of the F2012's front air ingestion has been moderately blocked off on the F138 by a "vanity panel," which is assert to develop the aerodynamics of the car as well as its exterior. However, the most major changes are found at the rear of the car, which is narrower and more narrowed than the F2012.

The aerodynamics of the F138 are still a work in improvement, with wind subway testing predictable to continue at least up to the initial gate of the Australian Grand Prix testing runs. The front and rear wings of the F138 have around the same configuration as emerged on the F2012 late in last year's season. Underneath the car, the front and rear pull-rod started torque springs suspension is still supporting the F138, but has been tuned to faintly raise the car under some situation to improve its aerodynamics.

The engine is the logically aspirated Ferrari 2.4 liter 056, which has been used in one form or one more while V8s were mandated by the FAI (Federation Aeronautique Internationale) in 2006. 2013 is the last year this athletic engine will be used in Formula One struggle, as the FAI, following its adoption of "green" principles, has determined to change to turbocharged 1.6 liter V6 engines in 2014.

One general criticism about recent Formula One racing is that the cars have a great contract of trouble transient on the track, resulting in dull races for the audience. In response, the rules were changed to augment speed in the straight-aways. The F138 has an active haul decrease system (ADRS), which is prohibited by the driver to decrease the down pressure from the wings in straight-aways. Essentially, the wings are made to stall, which decreases the rolling resistance of the car and the drag from the wing to supply a speed boost in straight-aways of about 9-10 mph (14-16 km/h).
