Fernando Alonso reckons he and his world championship rivals will "all start from zero" when Formula One resumes after its three-week summer break.
Red Bull's Mark Webber currently leads the drivers' standings on 161 points with Alonso in fifth place, albeit just 20 points behind the Australian.
Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Jenson Button all stand between the pair and given the tight battle currently being fought, Alonso knows that he and Ferrari must deliver in the final seven races of the season.
"I think we have to be happy with our championship so far," the Spaniard said during in an interview on the Ferrari website.
"We've had some good races and some disappointing races as well, but overall I think we are in a position now really close to the leader, a very short distance. We are five drivers fighting for the championship so we are there."
"There are seven races to go now, so anything can happen. We all start from zero so we need to be the best in this last part of the championship if we want to win."
I think we all start from zero. I think no one feels the leader of the championship and no one feels fifth in the championship. We all feel a group and it's time to deliver now.Although Alonso finished second behind Webber in Hungary, he said the Hungaroring track suited Red Bull and believes Ferrari will come into their own elsewhere.
"That was a perfect circuit for Red Bull and we knew that and we need to remain calm," the double world champion added. "The championship is 19 races and therefore the overall picture I think Ferrari has a competitive package."
We are in a position in which we can take the lead of the championship if we win one race, so we have to remain calm.
