Formula One:Formula One's governing body will appoint an official to ensure Fernando Alonso gets equal treatment to McLaren team-mate Lewis Hamilton at next week's title-deciding Brazilian Grand Prix.
"We can confirm that the FIA is in the process of appointing a special scrutineer for the Brazilian Grand Prix," a spokesman for the International Automobile Federation (FIA) said yesterday.
Hamilton, the 22-year-old Briton who could become the first rookie to win the Formula One title as well as the youngest champion, leads Spaniard Alonso by four points ahead of the decider at Interlagos on Sunday week. Finland's Kimi Raikkonen is a further three points back for Ferrari in the first three-way battle down to the wire since 1986.
