Hamilton and Alonso differ on championship aspirations

LEWIS HAMILTON remains committed to securing the Formula One constructors’ title for McLaren but teammate Fernando Alonso is concentrating on winning the drivers’ crown.

Alonso spearheaded a one-two with Hamilton at Sunday’s Italian Grand Prix to close the gap on his team-mate in the world title fight to just three points with four races remaining.

McLaren’s first such result in Ferrari’s own backyard of Monza has also enabled the team to open up a 23-point gap on their rivals.
