Alonso in quit threat over rules

Alonso committed to Renault for two more years at the end of 2008
Fernando Alonso has warned he could walk away from Formula One if plans to introduce a standard engine for all teams go ahead from 2010.
F1's governing body the FIA has made the engine proposal as one of three options to cut what it views as the sport's excessive costs.

But Renault's double world champion said: "If they approve a single engine that would be the last straw.
"It would be time to start thinking about retirement."

FIA president Max Mosley insists F1 must reduce costs by 2010 to stay credible amid a global financial crisis.
But his proposal to introduce a standard engine has met with disapproval from the road-car manufacturers.

Ferrari threatened to review their participation in the sport arguing; "the use of same engines would deprive F1 of its competition and technological development".

The teams have already agreed to cut the cost of customer engines by more than £12m from 2011 - and are working with the FIA on changes for 2010.
Alonso spoke positively about next season's rules changes.

New regulations for 2009 will see the return of slick tyres, the introduction of the new kinetic energy recovery system (Kers) and aerodynamic alterations.
The changes are, in part, designed to make overtaking easier and to increase competitiveness - and Alonso says that will help him in his quest for a third world title.

"The advantage is that practically everybody is starting from zero," said Alonso, who won the Singapore and Japanese Grands Prix last season.
"Next year I will try to be champion. You can't allow yourself to start the championship without thinking you're going to win.

"My objective is to win the title. It's a very clear objective, although it may have to be altered as the year goes on."

Hamilton fury! Lewis crashes out with end in sight as Alonso claims Valencia victory

Fernando Alonso claimed a stunning win at a European Grand Prix that saw Lewis Hamilton crash out on the penultimate lap while running in third after a run-in with Pastor Maldonado.

Alonso finished ahead of Kimi Raikkonen and third-placed Michael Schumacher after an incident-packed race around Valencia's Street Circuit, which had come under fierce criticism for producing 'boring' races.
This was anything but as first race leader Sebastian Vettel ground to a halt after appearing destined for an easy win and then McLaren's beleaguered team made yet another mistake in a season full of them. This time a jack failed, causing a huge delay

The title race will go down to the wire in Brazil after Lewis Hamilton won the inaugural United States Grand Prix from standings leader Sebastian Vettel and title hopeful Fernando Alonso at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

The result means that the title race moves onto Brazil with just 13 points between Vettel and Alonso in the standings but Red Bull did secure another constructors’ championship despite the retirement of Mark Webber with an alternator problem on lap 18.
Felipe Massa finished fourth in the second Ferrari ahead of Jenson Button and Abu Dhabi Grand Prix winner Kimi Raikkonen.
