After a collision on the opening lap of the Belgian Grand Prix with Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso expressed an angry diatribe in radio conversations with the team, suggesting that the seven-time world champion “can only win if he starts ahead” and shouted the opponent a ” idiot”. At Zandvoort, the Alpine rider admitted he was excited and apologized for his words.
Fernando Alonso: “From my words they have blown up a big story. First of all, Lewis is a champion, a legend of our time. And when such words are said to the British rider, for which I apologize, the press immediately joins in.
If something like that is said about Sergio Perez, about Carlos Sainz, about me, about a Latin-speaking racer, it’s all presented as a joke, but it’s worth saying this about Lewis because things take a serious turn.
I apologise. At that moment I didn’t think about what I said. I was in the thick of it, experiencing adrenaline, fighting for a place in the top three. All this led to words I shouldn’t have said. After the race I said that in my opinion a racing incident had happened.
Asked if he could personally apologize to Hamilton, Alonso said: “Not yet. When we do TV interviews, I go to him and apologize. I have no problem with him, I have a lot of respect for him.” Lewis.”
