It was not difficult to predict that – despite the apparent clarification in the press after the race – the contact took place between Fernando Alonso And Lewis Hamilton during the first lap of the Belgian GP yesterday he would have left considerable aftermath between the two ancient rivals. Even more than the accident that knocked out the Mercedes driver, and of which Hamilton himself admitted with great honesty the responsibility after the race, what stood out was the ferocious radio team with which Alonso commented on the impact with the former teammate. In fact, via radio the Asturian defined # 44 a “idiot” capable of driving “Only when it starts in front”. A comment that after the race was partially muted by its author, but that certainly did not please the entire environment of the Mercedes house.
Toto Wolffteam principal of the Brackley team, used the weapon of irony, underlining how Hamilton has “Often started up front and won seven world titles. So that strategy worked“. The Englishman, however, once the words spoken by Alonso were reported to him, was decidedly less sarcastic, showing that he was rather annoyed from the language used by the colleague with whom – after the apparent thaw a few years ago – relations seem to have returned to the levels of the ‘cold war’ of 2007. “I don’t have a real answer, I prefer not to comment. We have had different results in our races“, The English replied to DAZN Spain.
Then, however, the Mercedes star continued, not sparing other arrows to the veteran from Oviedo: “I know what it feels like in the heat of the moment, but it’s nice to know what he thinks of me. It wasn’t intentional [l’incidente] and I take responsibility for it: that’s what adults do. Everyone told me what he’s doing, I know what he thinks of me. I do not care. I went outside, I didn’t give it space and I thought I did. It’s an easy mistake to make and I paid the price. It’s a shame for the team, but these things happen“. Then the final thrust: “Apologies? I would have done them if I hadn’t heard what she said“.
