Alonso not worried about losing support

FIA president Max Mosley confirmed today that Ron Dennis had told him after the Hungarian Grand Prix that Alonso had "threatened" the McLaren team boss with giving the governing body information concerning McLaren's involvement in the spying affair.

Dennis's call to Mosley, which subsequently led to McLaren's exclusion from the constructors' championship and a record US$100 million fine, was triggered by the row between Alonso and Dennis after qualifying in Hungary.

Mosley told ITV on Saturday: "On the morning of the Hungarian Grand Prix, Ron rang me and he said, 'I've just had Alonso in the motorhome and he says he's got information and he's threatening to give it to the Federation.'"

When asked after qualifying at Spa about the threat, Alonso himself refused to comment.

"I will not comment. That is what you think," the Spaniard said.

"I have no comment on this," added Alonso, speaking about Hungary. "Everybody speaks, everybody speculates about everything. We are here racing, I think that is the first thing we have to talk about, racing.

"If Ron said something it is because he wanted to. If Max said something today, it is because he wanted. I am a racing driver and I will answer questions about tyres, engines and things like that."

Alonso also insisted that nothing has changed at McLaren, and he is expecting to have the full support from the team to keep fighting for the drivers' championship title.

"For the team I don't think that many things change," Alonso said. "We are all here in the race, preparing for qualifying and the race, the strategy, and try to win this one as we try to do every race. I didn't feel any change."

When asked if he fears the team would stop supporting him, the reigning champion replied: "No, not at all. I have no concern.

"I am totally happy with the team behaviour in this situation, and they always said that they will do the best they can to win races and championships. It is the way it is going now."
