130,000 Alonso fans cry foul

(GMM) More than 130,000 Fernando Alonso supporters have lodged their dissatisfaction about the Spaniard's 2007 campaign at McLaren with formula one's governing body.

A group of the Spaniard's fans collected the signatures on the petition, which weighed 30 kilograms and numbered 7200 pages when delivered to the FIA's headquarters, after objecting to allegedly "unjust" events relating to the double world champion this season.

Europa Press reports that a letter to FIA president Max Mosley and a cd-rom outlines "many irregularities" relating to Alonso's failed championship campaign.

"We do not expect anything to happen, we just want it known that we are not blind," said one of the group's founders, Marcos Lopez.

They also sent copies of the accusations to Spanish ministers Mercedes Cabrera and Jaime Lissavetzky, and high ranking Spanish motor sport official Carlos Gracia.

Among their complaints are unfavorable McLaren race strategies, alleged sabotage of Alonso's car, unfair penalties, and the FIA's reluctance to similarly penalize his teammate Lewis Hamilton for breaches.
