The Spaniard ranted about the British at the start of the Belgian Grand Prix
Technological advances bring to the public what Formula 1 drivers are saying as they drive. And they are not always nice words. Like the ones Fernando Alonso said about Lewis Hamilton after the start of the Belgian Grand Prix. The British made a maneuver that the Spanish did not like. “What an idiot, we had made an impressive start, you can’t close the door going from the outside, this guy only knows how to get out well if he does it in front,” Alonso said after impacting with the Mercedes 44 of his former teammate in 2007 at McLaren .
At the start Hamilton was placed behind Alonso, and then he was placed on par and closed from the outside.
Hamilton accepted his mistake and took it with humor. “Everyone has told me what he is saying. Now at least I know what he thinks of me. But I don’t care too much,” he said. «I have gone around the outside and I have tried to make a maneuver. I have not left him space, he thought so. An easy mistake to make and I have paid the price », he admitted.
