Athletistic/ Formula 1. Spanish Alpin driver Fernando Alonso has apologized to Lewis Hamilton for calling him an idiot in a collision at the Belgian Grand Prix.

“Lewis is a champion and a legend of our time, and when you say something about a British rider the press goes full throttle. If you say that about a rider from a Roman country, then everything is perceived as easier. But yes, I’m sorry. In the heat of the moment, I said something that shouldn’t have been.

Did I speak to him? Not yet. I will see him and apologize, I have no problem with Lewis, I have great respect for him,” Alonso said.
