BMW-Sauber principal Mario Theissen on Friday warned that world champion Fernando Alonso is unlikely to give up despite his ten point championship deficit to his rookie McLaren teammate Lewis Hamilton. "He is an excellent driver and we have great respect for him," the German told the Spanish newspaper Diario As at Magny Cours. "If we cannot beat him here then I would be glad if he wins. The championship is still long with 100 points left in the game."
