McLaren to shut out Alonso rest of year

McLaren have warned Renault that they should not expect Formula One title favorite Fernando Alonso to win another race this season. McLaren chief executive Martin Whitmarsh told reporters after Juan Pablo Montoya's British Grand Prix success on Sunday that his team could realistically hope to sweep the board from Silverstone onwards.

"We could have won the last eight races, we can win every remaining race," he said.

"Both of our drivers, unquestionably at the moment, can beat Alonso and if we do that, and we have good reliability and they make a slip or two, then we're in there to win both championships.

"I'm not going to go and put my mortgage on it, yet, but I do believe we can do it. But it's not going to be easy," concluded Whitmarsh. Reuters
