Click here to read Ed Gorman's verdict on Alonso's outburst
Lewis Hamilton's hopes of winning the drivers' world championship have come under further threat after Fernando Alonso vowed to do what we can to help Felipe Massa to win the title.
The Spaniard, whose antagonism towards Hamilton is well-known, was asked if he help the Ferrari driver in the final two races of the season at the expense of his former McLaren teammate, Alonso said: "Yes, without doubt. If I can help, I will help Massa."
The animosity between Alonso and Hamilton developed last year after the Spaniard, who had arrived at McLaren having taken back-to-back world titles with Renault, demanded the team recognise him as their No 1 driver, ahead of Hamilton, who was in his first season in the sport. The fall-out from the incident saw Alonso leave the team after just one season to return to Renault.
Alonso, who has won the past two races in Singapore and Japan, said both Hamilton and Massa had made too many mistakes this season compared to when he won the title for the first time.
"They have lost a lot of points," Alonso said. "After 16 races the leader has 84 points. In 2006 I had 82 in nine races.
"In this championship the drivers who are up there have scored few points. But in the end the one who makes the least errors will win. We'll see."
With two races remaining, Hamilton holds a five-point lead over Massa.

More hollow words from Alonso. The only person he helps is himself.........
AJ, Sydney, Australia
Last season in China "daddy dennis" said: WE ARE RACING AGAINST ALONSO.... So whats up now!!! Could anyone remember what happened in the begining of the season in a crashbetween a LH and FA? Oh yes, it wasn´t LH fault, it was a telemetry problem....
Ernesto Aleixandre, Madrid, Spain
FA is a class driver end of story and had LH shown some humility instead of having a very ill informed self belief he is better than all the rest he may have learned something,inside i believe he is a good man trying to hard,mistakes are made then he suffers,i wish him luck.
steve, dorchester, england
If this happened in football can you imagine the problems it would cause! teams losing deliberately to help another team and what about boxing and betting scandals? If F1 has any credibility as a sport it needs to punish Alonso and ban him, but it won't as it is more akin to WWF wrestling.
John, Manchester,
That's absolutely obvious consecuence of last year Hamilton and Dennis behavior. If you look for anything, you'll usually find it.
Alberto, Alcalá de Henares, España
Lewis is going to do it and rub your boy alonso's face in it as well! He got beaten by a rookie! it must hurt!
tim, London, England
Just when I had complemented FA on his new found professionalism & maturity!
Is he looking to leave F1 then?
With comments like that he'll soon be looking for an new drive!
Or maybe he's just trying to get final buy-in from Ferrari?
Funny how you can get the wrong impression about someone.
Graham Holland, Porthleven, Cornwall, UK
Fernando may want to be number 1, but McLaren and Ron Dennis bet for Hamilton... and they lost everything!
Oscar, Coruña, España
FA won two consecutive titles against the great Schummaher and is the yougest world champion in history. LH failed to clinch a title that was his, even when his team was behind him heart and soul, and against FA heart and soul. And yet FA managed to end the season with the same no. of points. Hmm...
Eva, Gijon, Spain
some brits can't help the fact that nothing gave light to f1 since senna until alonso.I stoppet following f1 in monza at senna's passing away. really felt it not only as we all did motor followers,specially people here in sao paulo.senna vs schummacher today is alonso vs hamilton.tricks vs soul
paulo koenig, sao paulo, Brasil
Alonso is not in the same league as M. Schumacher nor is Hamilton. During the time I have watched Grand Prix racing, Fangio, Moss, Clark, Prost, and Senna had extra ordinary talent. Most all present GP drivers are very good but depend far more on their equipment than in the past.
Trevor Greenwood, Vancouver, Canada
oh my god you lot grow up all the teams are as bad as each other.
Alonso just had his nose put out of joint cause he had to battle for his status instead of having it handed to him on a plate.
mike, Bridgend,
This is what LH cannot stand, Alonso is much better than he and without the help of "daddy dennis" ruining alonsos qualifications all people can watch it now.
I don´t mind who wins this year, whoever it will be he will be a transitional championship and so remembered.
Marco, Gijon,
hahaha now, who is having the animosity against who?
We don't have a great japanese driver, but for most of us, Alonso is the greatest, with a good car, he'll surpase schumacher. I can see that you are still upset with FA because he proved that McL is a cheater team.
Hikiro, Tokyo, Japan
hahahaha, alonso, those brits needs something to talk about, if ot's possible, something bad.
"JUST HIT HAMILTON ON THE NEXT RACE AND THEY WILL BE HAPPY" of course, i'm being sarcastic
... incredible how your minds can work
