Former teammates Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso have had another F1 feud, this time colliding during the opening lap of the Belgian Grand Prix.
That saw Alonso lose positions and Hamilton forced to retire, also provoking an angry rant from the Spaniard.
Alonso’s clarification of his “idiot” Hamilton comments
“What an idiot, closing the door from the outside,” was what Alonso said on team radio in the heat of the moment.
“We had a mega start but this guy only knows how to drive and start in first.”
The Spaniard then waved his finger at Hamilton during the safety car, as the Mercedes man stood at the side of the road.
Later, though, after finishing fifth and cooling down, Alonso clarified his comments about his former McLaren teammate.
“I was frustrated in that moment for sure,” he said.
“Every time we start in the first row or second row or we are fighting top two, top three, there is something going on.
