NEWS Trulli 'lost motivation' - Alonso
DRIVERS STANDING
09-25-2004

(GMM - Shanghai) Jarno Trulli is still a friend, but Renault driver Fernando Alonso has thrown his support behind the Italian's departure and replacement Jacques Villeneuve.

''(Jacques' lap time) is quite close to me,'' said the 22-year-old, ''so he's done better than I thought. A very good job.''

Team chief Flavio Briatore reckons Trulli, not in China this weekend but perhaps a Toyota ring-in for Japan and Brazil, put in 'less effort' in the six grands prix since July.

Alonso thinks Jarno 'lost motivation.

''But who knows. Maybe he did, when the team announced their drivers for next year. Who can know? The atmosphere was not perfect -- from both sides.''
