Ferrari is now working flat-out on the development of what it claims is a 'very innovative' 2012 car, even though it still holds out some hope that it can haul itself back into this year's championship fight.

Fernando Alonso's recent run of good form, which included victory in the British Grand Prix, has put him 89 points behind championship leader Sebastian Vettel and his only realistic hope of closing that gap down dramatically is if his Red Bull rival hits some trouble.

Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali says his team's approach right now is on simply trying to win each grand prix, and then in a few race's time the outfit can take a better look to see if there is still a chance of the title.

Meanwhile, he openly admits that the real effort at Maranello is on delivering a much more aggressive car design for next year, having realised the team was too conservative this season.

McLaren are launching an all-out attack with three cars and ten drivers. But it's not a mouth-watering Formula One project, rather an explosive assault with the company's new MP4-12C GT cars.

They are sending three of the sensational machines to this weekend's classic 24-hour race at Belgium's challenging Spa-Francorchamps circuit.

And the strong driver line-up reflects how seriously they are taking the event.

Jenson Button last night backed his team as he told them to forget their British Grand Prix nightmare. The Frome flier saw the wheels come off his 12th attempt to get on the podium at his home race.

Button's hopes were wrecked when he was sent away from the pits with a wheel nut missing, forcing him to park up. The latest in a series of blunders has put huge pressure on McLaren team chief Martin Whitmarsh.

But Button, 95 points behind leader and Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel, insisted: "This doesn't shake my confidence in the team. Not really. We all have bad weekends, Red Bull have had them, too. This was a poor weekend for the team but, hopefully, we will be back on track in Germany.

Lewis Hamilton will share the second row with the Ferraro of Fernando Alonso while Alonso's team-mate Felipe Massa edged out the second McLaren of Jenson Button on the third row.

Mark Webber nearly lost his battle with the elements at Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix when his car started changing gear on its own.

The Red Bull ace was attempting to cope with the torrential rain that swamped the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve when water invaded his cockpit area.

Webber knew he was in for a rough ride when his F1 ride started making its own decisions.

He said: "The car was downshifting itself.”

"There was water that had got into the steering wheel so that had to be changed at one of the pits stops."

Sebastian Vettel won the Monaco Grand Prix after the race was red flagged and then restarted with only six laps to go. Fernando Alonso was second and Jenson Button third.

It was a fascinating three way battle for the victory, with three completely different race strategies creating tremendous tension and excitement. Vettel was forced into stopping only once, managing to do almost 60 laps on a set of tyres. while Alonso took advantage of a safety car to make his second stop and jumped Button, who drove an attacking three stop strategy, but the safety car wrecked it for him.

Mercedes GP boss Ross Brawn believes Michael Schumacher will be back on form in the Spanish Grand Prix following a disappointing race in Turkey.

"I am sure the last race wasn't very joyful, and that is what he was referring to," said Brawn of Schumacher's comments after the Istanbul race, where the German finished down in 12th position after contact with Vitaly Petrov.

"When you have a race like that as any driver it is going to knock you back a bit.

"But I think he is pretty resilient and I am optimistic this weekend he will be back where we want him."
