London , England ( CNN ) -- Fernando Alonso insists he can still drive Ferrari to the Formula One world title , despite losing ground on his rivals after a disappointing Belgian Grand Prix . The Spaniard is 41 points behind the current leader in the drivers ' championship standings , McLaren 's Lewis Hamilton , after he span out in the latter stages at Spa . But with six races left in the season , Alonso is convinced he can still force his way into the reckoning -- starting with the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on September 12 . `` With this points system and the way races swing one way or another , I am convinced we still have a significant chance , '' Alonso wrote on his Ferrari blog . `` There are 150 points up for grabs , enough to turn the situation around . We must remain calm and concentrate , to try and make up the difference as soon as possible . `` Clearly , there are now three of us who need to make up for ground lost in Spa . It was not the Belgian Grand Prix we were expecting , that 's for sure . '' Alonso is now focusing on the Italian Grand Prix as a chance to close the gap on Hamilton , and the other three in front of him -- Red Bull pair Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel , as well as Jenson Button , of McLaren . But he admits his first trip to the famous Monza track as a Ferrari driver will add extra pressure on him to deliver the goods and that a bad result could deliver a fatal blow to his championship hopes . `` There is no denying that the Monza race will be very important , '' he added . `` At our home circuit we will have to do everything to avoid losing any more points . `` A good result here would be a great boost . If things go badly , it wo n't be over but it would be a hard knock for team morale . `` Racing at Monza for the first time as a Ferrari driver will definitely be a nice feeling . Our team is made up of 95 per cent Italians and you can feel the passion and the will to do well for this special event . `` I ca n't wait to be there and look forward to seeing the grandstands packed with fans -- we need their support .
