Ferrari's Fernando Alonso has attempted to deflect the team's criticism by turning his attention to the next date on the Formula One calendar in Hungary.

Alonso won the Germany Grand Prix on Sunday after he took the lead from team-mate Felipe Massa.

However, the Italian team were fined after it was adjudged they ordered Massa to allow Alonso to go in front 17 laps from the end, but Alonso is more interested in grinding out another favourable result in Budapest.

"Winning is a great feeling and that was the case in Hockenheim, especially when I think of the huge workload undertaken by everyone at Maranello to achieve this fantastic one-two finish," he said.

"No one ever gave up and I know how pleased they were to see two Ferraris cross the line ahead of all our rivals. For over a month now we have been saying that we had to get back to winning at least once before the summer break and finally, we did it.

"We did not have much luck in some races and, because of unusual incidents, we did not pick up the points we deserved.

"There was a slight feeling of frustration with this lack of results, but at last in Germany, for once we had a normal race on a weekend when he had no problems whatsoever and the result was there for all to see.

"The win does not change my approach to the rest of the season. We knew full before Hockenheim that our car was much more competitive and that was what made me so confident. Now we must continue in this direction, starting this coming weekend in Budapest."
