We don't need anything like that in the garage - Alonso

This weekend, during the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos, a FIA observer will be present in the McLaren garage to ensure equality between Hamilton and Alonso. The Spanish driver is not pleased with this though: "I probably don’t agree with that decision but you know it’s not up to us. I think if they decide to do that, it’s OK, but we don’t need anything like that in the garage."

Alonso stated that he trusts the team, even after the incident at China: "As I said in China, I think I was disappointed with the qualifying performance and I felt it was a very strange result after Q1 and Q2, being a little bit closer to fight for pole position, not in Q3 anymore, but we realised that the tyre pressures were a little bit too high and this can happen in any of the qualifying sessions, so I just want to think that it was coincidence and a little bad luck, so this race should be OK."
