Hamilton makes Alonso uncomfortable

World champion Fernando Alonso has "never felt totally comfortable" at McLaren since Lewis Hamilton was confirmed as his team-mate for the 2007 season.

Spanish racer Alonso joined McLaren from Renault after back-to-back drivers' championships but hinted he feels slightly sidelined by the arrival of a British driver at a British team.

Alonso told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser: "Well, right from the start I've never felt totally comfortable. I have a British team-mate in a British team, and he's doing a great job and we know all the support and help is going to him and I understood that from the beginning."

He added: "But I'm not complaining. I've won two races out of six and I've finished on the podium four times and I have those 40 points that will allow me to fight for the title in the end."
