FHernando Alonso was not impressed Lewis Hamiltontrying to overtake him before they collide in Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday.
On the radio of his team, the Spanish rider did not hesitate to accuse Mercedes a man calling an Englishman an idiot.
“What an idiot, closing the door from the outside” Alonso said.
“We had a mega start, but this guy only knows how to drive a car and start first.”
Crazy start of the Belgian Grand Prix
Alonso was one of three drivers who managed to overtake Sergio Perez at the start. Hamilton was then on Alonsotail before going out to the Spaniard outside.
Hamilton had some advantage, but at the turn both were on the same level. The Englishman tried to break out, trying to find a gap where there was none, and crashed into the Spaniard’s left front wheel. Alpinetraveling through the air.
Despite the race going on Hamilton I had to take off on the second lap, which caused the safety car to run out.
Alonso was so upset that, passing by Mercedeshe even scolded the Englishman with his finger.
Hamilton did not go to the medical center, although this was mandatory after the accident, as the car’s warning light was flashing, making it mandatory to check it out. I received a warning for this, but I was not at fault for the crash from the FIA’s point of view.
