| McLaren's Fernando Alonso says he had a moral obligation to give Formula One's governing body the information they were looking for in a spy probe that threatens his team's title hopes. "I only see one option and that is to support this investigation and give them what they ask for," the double world champion was quoted as saying in Spain's AS sports newspaper on Saturday. "When the highest authority in a sport asks you to co-operate, there's nothing you can object to. You've no choice," the 26-year-old added. "I can't race thinking that I didn't act correctly. There are moral reasons that tie me to my sport," he told Spanish reporters at the Italian Grand Prix. "I can't hide information that could be revealed by others and run the risk that the FIA accuses me of hiding information, and sanctioning me. "The only thing I have done is met a moral obligation and responded to what the FIA asked of me. I won't start judging what I've sent them. They should decide this." The International Automobile Federation (FIA) revealed on Friday that it had written to Alonso, championship leading team mate Lewis Hamilton and McLaren test driver Pedro de la Rosa last week seeking information in a spy saga that has gripped the glamour sport.
