Dennis unimpressed by Alonso silence

Ron Dennis has expressed his disappointment at Fernando Alonso’s implication McLaren have favoured new boy Lewis Hamilton this season, as a thrilling 2007 Formula One season reaches its climax.

Hamilton will take a 12-point lead over the Spaniard in the drivers’ world championship into Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix after the 22-year-old escaped a possible points deduction having being cleared by stewards of any wrongdoing after an accident between Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel at the Japanese Grand Prix.
