McLaren boss promises a fair fight in Brazil

McLAREN boss Ron Dennis has again firmly stressed there will be no favouritism when Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso face a win-or-bust clash for the Formula One world title in Brazil.

Faced with suggestions his team are siding with Hamilton given the furore that has surrounded Alonso in recent weeks, Dennis has felt compelled to issue a defiant defence.

“This has been a tremendous season to which the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team and our drivers have, I believe, contributed a great deal,” remarked Dennis. This contribution has been enhanced by allowing Fernando and Lewis to race each other with complete equality.
