World champion Fernando Alonso says he wants to win the next race in Hungary to show McLaren have made progress with their car.

The Spaniard took his third win of the season at the Nurburgring on Sunday, but he only moved into the lead when the rain hit the German track. Before that, Ferrari's Felipe Massa looked set for race victory, the Italian squad's third in as many races.

Alonso now wants to win in Hungary next week to prove McLaren can also beat Ferrari in dry conditions.

"In Hungary it would be good to win in the dry," he told AS newspaper. "More than anything to see that we have improved the car a bit and because Hungary suits the McLaren very well.

"It's a slower circuit, like Monaco. In the last few races they (Ferrari) have been three tenths per lap quicker."

The Spaniard gained ten points on championship leader Lewis Hamilton after his victory, and the double champion is now just two behind the Briton.

Alonso, however, reckons his victory is not the inflection point of his season.

"I don't think so," he added. "As I always said, the championship is long and whoever is more consistent or stronger in the 17 races will win the title.

"Sometimes things go right, other times they don't. This time everything worked well and we took advantage of it, unlike other times. I will remain the same. I'll try to be on the podium and finish ahead of everybody else."

Suggestions that Fernando Alonso has finally settled at McLaren have been dismissed by fresh reports that the Spaniard is unhappy with the team.

According to The Times, Alonso remains 'uncomfortable' - as the Spaniard once put it - at the Woking team despite having spent more than seven months trying to settle in.

Although the double World Champion recently said he has "no problems" and "no intention" to leave McLaren before his contract ends, a source close to the Spaniard has revealed that there are a lot of problems and that "it's worse" than it was a few months ago when Alonso first voiced his displeasure.

'The turning point, after a positive start, came in Monte Carlo at the end of May, when Alonso and his supporters were dismayed to see his drive to victory overshadowed by the row over whether or not Hamilton had been stopped from winning the race. The Spanish did not like the way Ron Dennis handled the situation and they are not impressed with the way the team have approached race strategies since then.

'The impression is that the Spaniard has failed to establish anything more than a working relationship with Dennis, the McLaren team principal,' The Times reported.

Alonso, though, could hold some of the blame for that as his critics 'say that he has not made as much effort as he could have done to build relationships within the team, especially with his mechanics.'

And then, of course, there is the situation of team leader or number one driver, which Alonso and his advisors are believed to have thought the double World Champion would have been given.

'There are suggestions that the deal for Alonso's move from Renault - as his advisers understood it when it was agreed in December 2005 - has not been honoured. The Spaniard's people might have been given the impression that Alonso would have an unchallenged position as team leader.'

That, though, hasn't happened as McLaren have given Alonso and his rookie team-mate Lewis Hamilton equal status in keeping with the team's tradition of letting their drivers race.

Although Ron Dennis knows the pitfalls of having two drivers fighting for the World title, the team boss says McLaren won't change their equal opportunity policy.

with seven races to go the Championship battle is heating up and McLaren are leading the way with Lewis Hamilton on 70 points and his team-mate Fernando Alonso two points adrift.

But even though Hamilton is leading the battle the momentum has swung in Alonso's favour in the past two races, resulting in the Spaniard taking 12 points out of his team-mate's lead.

That, though, does mean McLaren are willing to back him and him alone for this year's World title even though Dennis fully appreciates the downside of having two drivers in the hunt for the World title.

"They have to fight," he said. "I know it is difficult for many people to come to terms with us providing equality, but we try to be a grand prix team of good values and very correct.

"Over the years I have found the best way is to try to give equal opportunity to both drivers, to try and take equal and fair decisions, and let the race take place on the circuit.

"That is the way I and the team have always been, and will continue to be.

"It doesn't always get the right result because if you remember, two years ago we won 10 races, but not the World Championship - that's the way it is."
