MONACO (AP) Closing in on Formula One leader Sebastian Vettel, Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso suggested Wednesday that Red Bull's complaints about Pirelli's fast-degrading tires are due to frustration at no longer dominating races.
Red Bull star Vettel finished fourth when Alonso won the Spanish Grand Prix two weeks ago to reduce the gap to the German to 17 points.
"Sometimes, when you win too easy for some years, it is difficult to lose some races afterward," Alonso said at the Monaco GP. "We know that Barcelona was a good race for us and not so good for some of our competitors."
