Oct.3 (GMM) Fernando Alonso has accused his Renault team of not helping him to win the 2006 drivers' championship.
To the Spanish press, the 25-year-old reckoned the French squad - to lose Alonso to McLaren at the end of the season - is focusing instead on the constructors' title, now led by Renault after the 2-3 finish in China.
Evidence of Renault's lack of interest in putting Spaniard Alonso on the top step of the podium might be Sunday's strategy and pit errors.
'AS' newspaper quoted Alonso as saying: ''They wanted us to finish second and third because they do not want me to take the number one to a different team.''
He said there is 'no doubt' that the constructors' championship is therefore more important to Renault in 2006, and added that only 'some' in blue and yellow uniforms were disappointed to lose the Chinese GP to Ferrari's Michael Schumacher.
''Some others are happy,'' Alonso continued, ''because we went past Ferrari in the team battle.
'They are not helping me as much as they could.''
