“Lewis is one of the fairest drivers on the grid”
“What an idiot!” Alonso said on the radio as soon as the accident occurred. Closing the door from the outside… I mean, we had made a great start, but this guy only knows how to start and drive from the 1st position»he snapped as he regained his composure to defend the fourth position in the race at that time.

But other pilots have also been asked. Sebastian Vettel has been one of them and, although he remembers that conversations inside the car are usually emotional, he has also claimed that Fernando Alonso was very disrespectful to Lewis Hamilton.
“2 things. The first is an emotional reaction. If you find yourself in that situation, the first thing that worries you is that you may have damage to the car and that this will be the end of your career, “begins the German driver.
“But I think we are aware that radio talks are public and I think It was a very disrespectful comment.”, he then argues, defending Lewis Hamilton. “Lewis is one of the fairest drivers on the grid, I don’t think he had any intention of being unfair and he made a mistake. We all make mistakes, even Fernando sometimes does.”
Be that as it may, the two protagonists of the story have already settled the matter.
