"I think this result gives you some extra confidence and good motivation for the whole team," he said after claiming a home victory for Ferrari on his maiden run at Monza.
"So, we'll keep working hard and try not to give up--one race or a bad race can change the points a lot in the championship.
"For me, for us, this was a good weekend. Spa was a bad weekend--and now we need to find consistency in the last five races.
"That will be the key--this result is good motivation for all of us, but in the remaining five races it is really the important races and the good points.
"So we need to enjoy tonight, enjoy these next two days and we'll be in Maranello on Monday and Tuesday to say thanks for the whole team--and championship--wise there is time to think later on."
In winning, Alonso delivered his team president Luca di Montezemolo's call to turn pole position into a decisive triumph.--AFP

Monza: After poor qualifying and a bad start to the race, Force India's Adrian Sutil felt he was not heartbroken even though he did not finish among points.
"By the end of lap one I was at the end of the field so we decided to come in to change to the harder tyres as a strategic move to make up positions when the others pitted.
"It's one of those races where you hope to do better but I'm not too disappointed as it's been a good season so far and there are still five races left."--Agencies
