(GMM) Flavio Briatore has slammed claims that he is making life deliberately difficult for Fernando Alonso's Renault teammate.
Dissenting voices at Silverstone suggested that Giancarlo Fisichella's calamitous season, and second pit stop stall in as many weeks that halted his podium charge, hinted at team sabotage.
''What would be my interest,'' the Italian principal told Autosport, 'in damaging (his) races when our main target ... is to win the constructors' championship?''
The cynics, though, draw an inescapable parallel between Fisichella's problems, and those of his Renault predecessor Jarno Trulli last year after he and Briatore fell out.
Flamboyant 'Flav' denied that Fisichella's problems are always down to the team. ''As it happened (at Magny Cours),'' he alleged, ''it's not always the team's fault.''
