Fernando Alonso criticises fellow drivers

Ferrari's Fernando Alonso has accused Formula 1 drivers of not having enough respect for each other.

The former world champion claimed that there is a lack of "mutual respect" between current drivers compared to previous generations.

Speaking at an event marking the 30th anniversary of the death of Ferrari great Gilles Villeneuve, Alonso said: "It's a problem that goes back a long way to the junior categories and I think the time has come to try to get it back.

"I believe there is not that mutual respect there was back then."

The Spaniard is currently third in the driver rankings.
