From the first five races, Alonso took the podium four times after finishing in third. While one more race ended in fourth position.

Alonso also has high confidence that one day will occupy the championship podium. There are several circuits that he believes will match his land jet.

"I think so, yes (can win the title of champion). Hopefully it can be as soon as possible, because it seems that our car needs improvement because (the car) is not the fastest on the track straight, but has a very good performance at the corner," said Alonso.

"So, I think, on circuits like Monaco, Budapest and Singapore, it is where we have our main hope (to win the title) at this time," Alonso said, quoted from the official F1 website via Antara.

The rider, who is now in third place in the drivers' championship standings, last won the Grand Prix at the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix, while he was still racing alongside Ferrari.

Currently, Alonso has successfully helped Aston Martin occupy second place in the constructors' championship with 102 points, or 122 points behind the leader of the standings, Red Bull.

Alonso also put high confidence with Aston Martin to win again after 10 years.

"It's like throwing coins up You never know the results and you don't have the right answer. But, so far, I'm happy with the results," said Alonso.
