Fernando Alonso has said it all on the radio. “What a fool! The door was closed from the outside! We had a big start but this guy only knows how to drive first,” said Oviedo angrily afterwards hamilton closed him on the curve of Les Combes in the first round of Belgian F1 GP. Therefore, after the race, a tense exchange of statements was expected, but Hamilton had no choice but to admit his mistake and fix this issue as soon as possible. Of course, there is a dart to be sent to the Spaniards.
“Looking back at the images, he was in my blind spot and I didn’t leave him enough space”, he immediately admitted in the statements to ‘Sky Sports’, but he assured that he would not apologize to the Spaniard for what She said about him on the radio, “I know how things are in the heat of the moment, but it’s better if you know what you think of me. That’s not intentional, I take responsibility, that’s adults do. Excuse me?” No, I was about to leave until I heard what he said,” he added.
He also admitted his mistake in front of the ‘DAZN F1’ microphones, although he left another ‘recadito’ to Oviedo in reference to his previous criticism on the radio: “Everyone has told me what he says. So now at least I know what he thinks of me. But it doesn’t matter anymore.”
“I circled outside, I tried to move and I didn’t give him space. I thought. It’s an easy mistake to make and I paid the price. It’s really sad for the team because I had a good chance, but These are the things that happening and we will come back”, said the 7-time world champion.
Alonso: “I was surprised”
For his part, Fernando, knowing that Hamilton had already admitted his mistake, decided to lower the tone of his remarks, already cool and happy to have been able to finish 5th, a better position than he expected in the race.
“If he said it, I have nothing to add. On lap 1 and closing the gate like that I was a little surprised. And as usual, now that we started third and at that moment we were second, is when we have these types of incidents and we are delayed a bit. But in the end we also finished,” he said about it.
ALONSO, HAPPY WITH THE RESULT
“It’s been great. The truth is, we started third and finished fifth, well, that’s fine. We thought we’d finish where we finished or a little further, maybe sixth or seventh. But yes, it all happened. It was a more difficult race than we thought, at the beginning, the contact with Hamilton and then the strategy, which we always stopped very early. We struggled to get to the end and see the checkered flag.”
FERNANDO ADDS 9 RACE TO THE POINTS
“The consistency is good and the speed of the race is also good. The front three are out of reach, Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari. But we have a little margin on those behind us and we are moving in a pretty comfortable race, so let’s continue like this”.
