The Spaniard was furious after he hit the Monaco tunnel-wall on Sunday and he blamed the BMW-Williams ace, Ralf, for forcing him wide into the slick marbles. But asked whether he'll confront Schumacher, Alonso said 'No.
''Probably not - he added - I'm not going to waste my time talking to someone who is not prepared to listen to me. I've got more important things to do.''
Meanwhile, Michael Schumacher and Juan Pablo Montoya - who collided co-incidentally in the same dimly-lit tunnel, won't exchange words, either. ''I don't think we have anything to talk about,'' said the latter Colombian.
He added: ''If he wants to talk to me I'll stand there. But I'm pretty fixed in my mind what happened and what I think about it.''
And
Williams' Head to step aside Patrick Head is stepping down as BMW-Williams' long-serving technical director. The thirty percent team shareholder is likely to announce a staff shake-up on Tuesday as Grove opens a new wind tunnel at their headquarters in Oxfordshire. His successor is probably chief operations engineer Sam Michael, an Australian. Head could take-on the new, more managerial, role of 'director of engineering.'
Williams' 2004 car, the radical-looking FW26, has thus far proved a disappointment, and is ostensibly the reason for the technical re-organisation.
Head has been Williams' technical chief for 27 years.
A source close to Grove denied that Williams' owner and principal Sir Frank Williams ordered the change following pressure from German engine partner BMW. ''I made the decision,'' Patrick Head said at Monaco on Sunday. He said it's 'in response' to the unsatisfactory start of the season.
