Ferrari admirer Jean Alesi believes that so far, facts are supporting his view that the Scuderia could capture its first world title in a decade this season.
The Frenchman collected his single F1 triumph in Canada over two decades ago, in 1995, and his heart still remains with the red squad.
Alesi thinks the Scuderia is stronger today than it has ever been in the last ten years.
"Ferrari is Formula 1 history," the 52-year-old told the Italian media, "and they are doing a great season.
"Canada is a high speed track with particular characteristics and I think Ferrari will be strong. Changes of direction and high speed braking are very strong points of the machine.
"Are they favourites for the title? If we speak only about facts, so far if they do not win then they are second, so I really hope it will be a grand finale," Alesi added.
The Frenchman also chimed in on Kimi Raikkonen's fate, saying that the Finn's disappointment in Monaco will likely spur his motivation.
"He will react from the disappointment, keep pushing and maybe even win."
