Alonso sounds warning to Schumacher

FERNANDO Alonso has warned title rival Michael Schumacher he will not let up in his quest for a second world championship despite boasting an imposing advantage heading into this weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix.

Renault driver Alonso leads Schumacher by 23 points approaching the midway point of the season at Montreal but has vowed not to ease off in Canada.

The Spaniard made a rare mistake 12 months ago when he hit a wall in Montreal to lose what looked like a certain victory, allowing title challenger Kimi Raikkonen to move back into contention.
