"Reigning World Champion Fernando Alonso has widened his attack on the Renault team after losing his championship lead in China.
The 25-year-old, who in the Spanish press this week accused his team colleagues of abandoning the quest for his drivers' title, has now been quoted as criticising team-mate Giancarlo Fisichella's tactics on the Shanghai circuit.
While Ferrari boss Jean Todt hinted this week that Fisichella's precision driving on the straights was tantamount to illegal blocking, Alonso attacked his Roman cohort for overtaking him.
Alonso reportedly told Sport-Informations-Dienst: "In the same situation I don't believe that (Ferrari's) Massa would have driven past Schumacher.
"
A Renault spokesman, however, insisted that 33-year-old Fisichella 'drove purely for the team' in the Chinese Grand Prix.
And he said of Spaniard Alonso: "There is no problem at all with the relations between him and the team."
Tomorrow we expect Alonso to hit out at global warming, which must also be responsible for the loss of the championship lead."

"Fernando Alonso has urged Renault tyre supplier Michelin to up its game after in China he lost the lead of the drivers' championship for the first time in 2006.
The French tyre marque is to pull out of Formula One at the end of the month, and Spaniard Alonso said: "For Japan and Brazil, we need to believe in our tyre."
In the title battle between Renault and rival Bridgestone-shod Ferrari, the importance of tyre performance was starkly emphasised in Shanghai where the conditions favoured each marque at different stages.
"Hopefully Michelin can give us something more for the last two races," the 25-year-old added.
In the Spanish press, it is reported on Wednesday that Michel Rollier, the managing partner of Michelin Group, wrote a personal letter to Alonso asking him to ease his outspokenness about tyres in the closing stages of the 2006 battle.
