Fernando Alonso believes that Ferrari must make an "extra effort" to beat McLaren and Red Bull at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza this Sunday.
The Spaniard, who won last year's race, thinks he can record his second victory on the Italian track as long as Ferrari put in all their effort on home soil.
"We have to be perfect if we want to be at the front," BBC Sport quotes Alonso as saying. "All of us [at Ferrari] will make an extra effort this weekend. It will be another close battle.
"There is a special motivation this weekend for all of us. The mechanics and engineers have their families in the grandstands here in Monza.
"There is extra care in the things we do and we want everything to be perfect from practice to Sunday."
The 30-year-old currently sits 102 points behind leader Sebastian Vettel in the drivers' championship, with 175 points left up for grabs.
