Fernando AlonsoFernando Alonso continues to spit the dummy about the running of the McLaren team.

Ron Dennis has dismissed again renewed suggestions from Fernando Alonso that his team shows favouritism towards Lewis Hamilton.

Alonso, who lost the plot last season because he wasn't given special treatment by McLaren, has reignited his war of words with his former employer over the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend.

Alonso suggested that if he hadn't left McLaren he would be playing second fiddle to Hamilton because McLaren are set up to give Hamilton special treatment.

Dennis responded to Alonso’s comments, saying Kovalainen would happily attest that he is given the same opportunity to win as Hamilton.

"His [Alonso’s] opinion is his opinion," Dennis said in a press briefing on Sunday morning. "I am not going to voice my opinion about anything that Fernando has done or said."
"What I would say is you can’t see any strings leading to Heikki’s shoulders or you can’t see anyone’s hands up his back."

"He’s an honest guy and I think he will more than convince anyone who talks to him that this is a team that is absolutely committed to equality."

"It always has been and it always will be."

    He wants to get real.

    He’s just not as good as Hamilton.

    Hamilton’s got balls, Alonso’s a big girl’s blouse.

Lewis HamiltonCongratulations to Lewis Hamilton on becoming Formula One World Champion 2008.

At the penultimate corner, Hamilton passed Glock to claim fifth place - and with it the title.

The drama started before the race when a very heavy shower delayed the race and teams switched to intermediate (wet) tyres.

Hamilton kept out of trouble and was settling for the 4/5th spot he needed to win the title.



But rain intervened again in the final laps.
leading to an amazing last lap drama.

Lewis HamiltonAfter a rollercoaster season of F1 races, steward's enquiries, appeals and a few crazy moments. The F1 Driver's Championship  comes to the final race today at Interlagos in Brazil.

The grid positions were decided yesterday and it wasn't a good qualifying session for Hamilton.

His only rival for the championship Philipe Massa was on pole position. Hamilton finished fourth.
He has both Ferraris in front of him and more worryingly his nemesis Fernando Alonso behind him.

luca_cordero_di_montezemolo ferrariFerrari president Luca di Montezemolo is keen for the FIA to change the rules regarding team orders in Formula One.

In the Austrian Grand Prix in 2002 Rubens Barrichello blatantly moved aside for Michael Schumacher, earning jeers from the crowd and worldwide condemnation.

Team orders were banned by the FIA after a world-wide outcry.

Lewis HamiltonLewis Hamilton won the Chinese Grand Prix. Leading all the way in a boring yet tense race.

Boring because the front four on the grid finished in the first four positions.
Tense because the track was covered in marbles from the tyres, and Hamilton's team-mate Heikki Kovalainen had a puncture which could have happened to any of the drivers at any time.


Other than a first lap duel between Alonso and Kovalainen there was little overtaking.
No pit lane incidents.
No dodgy decisions by stewards.

Raikkonen and Massa swapped positions towards the end of the race to ensure Massa got an extra two points.
