Alonso angry at team-mate’s tactics

WORLD champion Fernando Alonso has voiced his dissatisfaction with Renault team-mate Giancarlo Fisichella, questioning the Italian’s actions during his defeat by Michael Schumacher at last weekend’s Chinese Grand Prix.

Alonso finished second behind Schumacher after leading in the early stages of the race before a tyre problem saw both Fisichella and Schumacher sweep past the 26-year-old as his pace slowed.

Schumacher eventually passed Fisichella to win for the fifth time in seven races and draw level on 116 points with Alonso in the standings for this year’s drivers’ crown, while the Spaniard recovered to finish second.
