The Spaniard made the accusation after Lewis Hamilton was penalised for overtaking the safety car following Mark Webber's collision with Heikki Kovalainen. Hamilton's drive-through penalty, coming some 20 laps after the incident occurred, meant very little as the McLaren driver built up a steady advantage over third placed Kamui Kobayashi, meaning the Brit rejoined in second place. Ferrari have also been vocal against the FIA saying that the incident and penalty was a "scandal" that "damaged the credibility of the sport." “We were running well, in third after a good start,” Alonso told Spanish television. “Then the safety car came out, which wasn’t too good for us, but Hamilton overtook the safety car, something that I had never seen, overtaking the medical car with yellow flags. “We were a metre off each other, and he finished second and I finished ninth. “This race was to finish second. Then with the safety car I would have finished where I finished in ninth, and Hamilton in eighth. “But here, when you do the normal thing, which is respecting the rules, you finish ninth, and the one who doesn’t respect them finishes second.” In his defence, Hamilton said: “As I was coming around turn one, literally as I got to the safety car line I saw the safety car was pretty much alongside me. “I thought that I’d passed it so I continued and that was it.” There is no love lost between the former McLaren teammates after a series of high-profile clashes, as Hamilton refused to be number two to Alonso. Alonso also played a part in revealing the 'Spygate' scandal which cost McLaren a £50million fine. In 2008, Hamilton accused Alonso of brake testing him at the Bahrain Grand Prix, a move which saw the Brit lose his front wing, destroying his chances of qualifying on pole at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Asked by a newspaper if he would like to be Hamilton’s teammate again, Alonso answered: “No. Not if it was my choice after what happened with us.” - Fernando Alonso fastest in European Grand Prix practice - F1: Sebastian Vettel holds off Hamilton in Valencia - Sebastian Vettel tops final European GP practice England 1 Germany 4: Fans react to dismal defeat Posted: 27 Jun 2010 10:31 AM PDT Capello singled out Lampard's 'goal' as a turning point in the match (Photo: P Blank) England’s 2010 World Cup hopes were emphatically ended on Sunday afternoon as Germany hammered Fabio Capello’s side 4-1. After falling 2-0 behind in the first half to goals from Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski, Matthew Upson’s controlled header reduced the deficit to one. And moments before the break, Frank Lampard’s legitimate long-range strike was not awarded despite the Chelsea midfielder’s shot rebounding off the crossbar and bouncing at least one yard behind the goal-line. “Instead of tweeting where he’s had lunch and who with, will @SeppBlatter actually tell us why human error is acceptable at the World Cup in 2010?” A second-half brace from Thomas Muller then sealed the victory for Joachim Löw’s side. The result marks England’s worst ever defeat at a World Cup and has prompted a plethora of different reactions on micro-blogging website, Twitter. “England were awful and deserved to lose though I’m still gutted! Can’t help but feel there was major potential wasted,” said Phoenixvolta. FIFA President Sepp Blatter, who has continuously stated his intention not to introduce goal-line technology into the game, did not comment via his own Twitter account following Lampard’s disallowed goal. “Instead of tweeting where he’s had lunch and who with, will @SeppBlatter actually tell us why human error is acceptable at the World Cup in 2010?” Nick Baker. “This is not a Fabio Capello team,” said The Times‘ Oliver Kay. “If you’ve managed title-winning teams in Italy and Spain, this can’t be easy to watch.” The Italian manager himself singled out Lampard’s ‘goal’ as a turning point in the match. “It was one of the most important things in the game,” said Capello. “The goal was very important. We could have played a different style. “We played I think well at 2-1, but after the third goal it was a little bit disappointing. “We played well. Germany is a big team. They played a good game. We made some mistakes when they played the counter-attack. The referee made bigger mistakes. “Little things decide the result always.” - Germany light up the tournament with Australia win - ‘England have a chance but Rooney needs support’ - Gerrard looking forward to England’s clash with Germany F1: Sebastian Vettel holds off Hamilton in Valencia Posted: 27 Jun 2010 09:44 AM PDT Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel (Photo: Red Bull) Sebastian Vettel led from pole to win the European Grand Prix in Valencia for Red Bull as teammate Mark Webber suffered a spectacular collision. Webber survived a horror smash after colliding with the Lotus of Heikki Kovalainen and flipping through the air before crashing head on into a tyre barrier. The Aussie was able to throw his steering wheel out of the car, before getting out without injury. The way Webber's car left the track was reminiscent of his accident in a 1999 Mercedes at Le Mans when he twice went airbourne. Lewis Hamilton took Webber off the line to take second, but was handed a drive-through penalty for an infringement under the safety car after Webber's accident following a complaint from Ferrari's Fernando Alonso. Much to the chagrin of Alonso, Hamilton's penalty meant nothing as he rejoined in second, while Alonso languished in eighth. The Brit made a late charge to challenge Vettel, reducing the lead to just over six seconds before deciding to stick with second place. Jenson Button spent much of the race stuck behind the inferior Sauber following the safety car, but with the nature of the circuit—and design of the F1 cars—was unable to get past until Kobayashi pitted. Williams had their best result of the season as Rubens Barrichello finished fourth at the circuit he won at last year, ahead of Renault's Robert Kubica and Force India's Adrian Sutil. Kamui Kobayashi went 53 laps on the option tyres to hold third place for much of the race ahead of Button, before rejoining in ninth. He then took advantage of low fuel levels and fresh tyres to take Fernando Alonso on the penultimate lap to move up to eighth place before an audacious move on Sébastien Buemi in the last corner of the race to finish seventh. Ferrari's weekend was ruined under the safety car as they were forced to stack their drivers. Alonso was impeded by Hamilton on entry to the pit—the incident for which the Brit received his penalty—while Massa was hampered by queuing behind his teammate, eventually rejoining at the back of the pack before finishing 14th. Mercedes turned the race into a test session for Michael Schumacher after a dismal weekend as the former world champion lost out under the safety car. Mercedes strategists got their timing wrong and Schumacher was left waiting at the end of the pit lane as the entire pack passed him. His teammate Nico Rosberg finished 12th after another largely anonymous weekend. The best of the rest was Virgin’s Lucas Di Grassi, who adopted a similar strategy to Kobayashi by staying on the prime tyres for much of the race to take 17th ahead of Hispania's Karun Chandhok. His teammate Timo Glock finished 19th ahead of Bruno Senna. Glock, however, was reported to stewards by race director Charlie Whiting for ignoring blue flags during the race, and was handed a post-race drive through penalty of 20 seconds. Other reports were received regarding pit lane incidents between Vitaly Petrov and Vitantonio Liuzzi, and Nico Hülkenberg and Sébastien Buemi, but no action was taken against any driver. McLaren's Jenson Button, Williams' Rubens Barrichello and Hülkenberg, Renault's Petrov, Force India's Adrian Sutil and Liuzzi, Toro Rosso's Sébastien Buemi and Sauber's Pedro De La Rosa were all handed five-second penalties for speeding under the safety car. In terms of points, Alonso now scores four points instead of two meaning he finishes eighth, while Rosberg picks up one. De La Rosa is therefore still yet to score this season. The drivers' championship now sees the top five as Hamilton 127, Button 121, Vettel 115, Webber 103, and Alonso 98, while the constructors' championship sees McLaren 248, Red Bull 218, Ferrari 165, Mercedes 109, and Renault 89. Driver of the day is undoubtedly Kamui Kobayashi. To hold off Button the way he did for so long, and then to take Alonso and Buemi once again showed he is more than capable and not afraid of reputations. Kobayashi's success comes in a weekend when Sauber had both cars finish in the points as Pedro De La Rosa finished tenth to win his first point of the season. Credit must also go to Adrian Newey and the team of designers, mechanics and engineers at Red Bull for building a car that was able to withstand the impacts Mark Webber experienced today. And finally, congratulations to Lotus for their 500th race, despite not getting a dream result. Kovalainen was taken out in the Webber crash, and Jarno Trulli suffered mechanical problems to finish 21st and last. - Sebastian Vettel tops final European GP practice - F1: Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel takes pole in Valencia - Mark Webber takes pole for Sunday’s Turkish Grand Prix England’s World Cup journey tracked in text messages Posted: 27 Jun 2010 05:29 AM PDT Mobile carrier O2 have tracked England fans’ emotions throughout the World Cup by analysing the volume of text messages sent during matches. The study found that when England desperately needed a goal against Slovenia last week, Jermaine Defoe’s strike sparked the biggest emotional reaction of the tournament, with an astonishing 285,000 texts per minute sent in celebration—around 4,700 per second. To put that into to context, less than half that number were sent in the same period the week before. And as the nation was gripped just before the final whistle went, texts plummeted down to around 190,000 moments before the end of the match, before shooting up to just under 245,000 celebratory texts when the final whistle sounded. Unsurprisingly, the England v Algeria match drew a lukewarm response from fans, although numbers shot up in response to Wayne Rooney's rant after the final whistle, with 260,000 texts sent in response. - Video: Wayne Rooney lashes out at booing England fans - Franz Beckenbauer launches scathing attack on England - Marcello Lippi defends his selection policy after draw Andy Murray eases into the second week of Wimbledon Posted: 27 Jun 2010 04:49 AM PDT Britain’s Andy Murray put on a polished display in front of an expectant Centre Court as he beat France's Gilles Simon 6-1 6-4 6-4. The fourth seed looked rampant from the start and broke the Frenchman in the second game thanks to some clinical ground strokes which outfoxed his injury-ravaged opponent. Murray wrapped up the first set in 23 minutes and the match continued in much the same vein in the second. An early break of serve allowed the Scot to seize the initiative once more and a first serve percentage of 65% was enough to prevent Simon from mounting a challenge as the Brit took the second 6-4. Simon, previously ranked sixth in the world last year before suffering a knee injury, mounted a comeback of sorts in the final set, but the Frenchman became infuriated as his best efforts failed to trouble the enigmatic Scot. With darkness filling the court and the threat of a 30-minute break needed for the potential deployment of the roof, the British number one seized upon a break point in the eighth game. Murray successfully served out the match to set up a fourth-round encounter with Queen's Club champion Sam Querry, who had beaten Belgium's Xavier Malisse earlier in the day. “Tonight was tough because it was getting pretty dark towards the end and if I hadn’t closed it out in the third set I would have had to go off and wait for the roof to close, so I got a little bit tentative around 3-3,” Murray said afterwards. And the fourth seed was delighted by his supreme form in the first week at SW19. “It was really good,” he continued. “I didn’t lose a set and didn’t lose my serve since my second service game of the first match. - Andy Murray handed Richard Gasquet test in French Opener - Lleyton Hewitt sets up fourth round tie with Novak Djokovic - Andy Murray seeded fourth at this year’s Wimbledon You are subscribed to email updates from The Sport Review To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now.
