The Spanish driver and the English driver staged a pique that caused the abandonment of the seven-time champion and the Asturian’s enormous anger.
Hamilton admitted his mistake but did not apologize as he was very upset by Alonso’s words on the radio.
Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton have staged a spectacular incident in the first lap of the Belgian Grand Prix that has ended with the British literally passing over the Spanish and has caused the abandonment of the seven-time champion. A maneuver that has made Fernando explode by radio: “What an idiot!!! He closes the door on me from the outside. We had made an impressive start. This guy only knows how to drive when he comes out first.”
The Asturian had put on second off and Lewis was third coming into the first stop at Spa, at turn five. Hamilton has taken the aspiration and has launched from the outside to Alonso, but has not left him space. “It is unluckyBut that’s motorsport. I gave everything to overtake on the outside at turn 5. I just didn’t leave enough space, it’s a mistake and I paid a price for it,” Hamilton admitted after the race.

Really i have no answer For this, I prefer not to comment on it. We have had different results in our races. I know how things feel with him heat of the moment and it’s good to know what you think of me. It was not intentional and I take responsibility, that’s what adults do,” Lewis said.
