Fernando Alonso refuses to accept that he now has the Formula One world at his feet, and point-blank denies that he will ever match the title tally of the retiring Michael Schumacher, despite taking back-to-back crowns in 2005-06.

Fernando Alonso has played down suggestions that he could be the victim of a dirty tricks campaign in order to ruin his chance of taking a second successive world title at Interlagos this weekend.

New world champion Fernando Alonso insists that he approached the Brazilian Grand Prix no differently to any other race, but admitted to hearing more noises from his car in the last few laps as the title neared.

Fernando Alonso claims that winning his first Formula One world championship goes a long way to repaying the efforts of friends and family in his homeland as he was attempting to forge a career in motorsport.
