Race to the title is wide open: Fernando Alonso

MELBOURNE: While Renault has gotten off to a flying start to the 2006 Formula One campaign, Fernando Alonso expects a stiff challenge to his world title on several different fronts. Renault, the reigning champion, go into the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park with a 13-point lead over Ferrari and McLaren after Alonso won the season opener in Bahrain and team mate Giancarlo Fisichella led a Renault 1-2 at Sepang.

``We will have to wait until the final five or six races of the season until we find out who is still there,'' the Spaniard told reporters on Thursday.

Alonso said last season's championship runner-up Kimi Raikkonen and his McLaren team-mate Juan Pablo Montoya would be more competitive this weekend.

Ferrari duo of Michael Schumacher and Felipe Massa and Honda's Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello were also viable title contenders. — Reuters
