Race winner Fernando Alonso, who tops the standings by virtue of his two race wins, started on a lighter fuel load and a two-stop plan, while team-mate Hamilton was initially fuelled for a one-stopper. That catered for a possible safety car incident as had happened in four of the previous five races.

"He is disappointed and frustrated, and I can understand that," said Dennis. "The drivers are members of this team, and they have to behave and perform as members of the team. That's the way it is."

Dennis insists the Monaco GP is a one-off, and that the two are now free to go head to head in the battle for the title.

"Lewis has an equal opportunity to win the world title," Dennis added.

"I have been monstrously criticised in the past for not favouring a driver and frittering away the opportunity of a world title.

"But we will never favour one driver over another, no matter who it is. We never have and we never will.

"Time will tell that we do not favour anybody."
