Monitoring Displeases Alonso
Friday 19 October 2007 at 16:12  Fernando Alonso is unhappy with the FIA's decision to deploy a scrutineer for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
The Spaniard has claimed that he has full trust for the McClaren team and has questioned the need for an arbitrator to ensure there is equal treatment of him and his arch rival and team-mate Lewis Hamilton.
And, thinking that his mood may affect his form, the reigning world champion has been pushed out to 14/5 by Sporting Bet to win the title. He is priced at 10/3 by Bet365, Coral and BetFred.
Commenting on the FIA's move, Alonso said: "It is not up to us, but I don't agree with it - we do not need anything like that in the garage."
He added: "I trust the team, despite what happened in China. As I said there, I was disappointed with the qualifying performance.
"I thought it was a strange result, particularly after Q1 and Q2 when I thought I would be close to fighting for pole position.
"But I realised the tyre pressures were a little bit high, and this can happen in any of the qualifyings.
"I just want to think it was a coincidence, a little bit of bad luck, and for this race it should be okay."
Hamilton is still favourite to become the first rookie to scoop the Formula One title with SportingBet offering odds of 1/2 for a British victory.
