MONZA, Italy: Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso on Thursday dismissed and distanced himself from all claims that his Renault team conspired to fix the outcome of the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix.

Amid the usual bedlam and clamour of the Monza paddock, where the sight of police and investigating lawyers has not been uncommon during previous Italian Grand Prix weekends, the 28-year-old driver said he could not believe anything he had heard.

The Spaniard told reporters: "I'm very surprised. I just cannot imagine this situation (happening) at all, so, as I said, I'm surprised - and it's time to think of another job now, here in Monza, and with another grand prix, because I'm not spending any more time on this.
