Alonso exploded on the radio against Hamilton and Verstappen was also angry with the Englishman

In the history between Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton We need to add one more ‘encounter’ to the track. The Spanish driver, who had already complained that the Englishman was not punished in Miami for a too aggressive start in the sprint race in which he overtook Fernando and two other drivers, met the British again, this time in free seconds of Emilia-Romagna F1 GP, in Imola.

The 7-time world champion bothered Fernando Alonso on two occasions by riding too slowly to the line and the Oviedo rider was unable to cope. In the second act he was interrupted by Lewis, Fernando sent a clear radio message to his team to recriminate the behavior of his rival.

“Hamilton thinks he’s alone on the track. It’s the second lap he’s done this to me: in turn 12 and now in turn 7,” added Fernando who was angrily interrupted by the Mercedes driver.

The phrase from Oviedo is very reminiscent of the radio he launched at the 2022 Belgian GP,​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ There, the man from Oviedo was more forceful: “He’s a fool, he only knows how to drive when he’s first!”

Verstappen and Hamilton, new clash

As if that wasn’t enough, Lewis Hamilton also distracted Max Verstappen on track in the same FP2, just minutes after his two actions against Alonso. Soon the Dutchman made clearly angry gestures at the Englishman from his cabin, furious at what had happened.

Lewis, aware of his mistake, raised his hand to apologize to Verstappen who was also more nervous than usual due to the many problems he suffered with his Red Bull, a car he had not tamed on the first day of Imola.
