Sparks flew between Alonso and Hamilton, nearly touched: It was Lewis’ controversial behavior

sparks flew between Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso at the Canadian F1 GP, I fought with all my might to fight for second place in the race next to Verstappen. The Englishman got off to a great start and overtook the Spaniard, but Oviedo had better pace and stuck to the Englishman’s rear wing and tried to attack when the ‘safety car’ came out on lap 12. . So Max, Lewis and Fernando took advantage of the free pit stop opportunity. It was a moment when Hamilton and Alonso almost touched each other.

Hamilton and Alonso entered the pit lane almost side by side. This stop was absolutely key. A single mistake can do a lot of damage. The longest Lewis took was 3.2 seconds. Fernando’s save was perfect: 2.3. The move closed the gap by ten tenths, enough to contest the position on the garage streets. However, Hamilton did his best to come out of the pit positions even though he saw Alonso closing in on him. He got into his car to defend his position and forced Alonso to brake to avoid a collision.

“Had to stop,” Alonso was recorded in the minutes as he wisely warned over the radio, knowing that this behavior would be investigated. And it was true. A few turns later, the FIA ​​released a controversial investigation into Lewis Hamilton’s conduct.

Hernando didn’t need the FIA ​​to do anything. He knows driving best, so he took justice into his own hands. Alonso slid into Lewis’ DRS and passed the Englishman at the final corner of the Canadian course on lap 22. And shortly after, he successfully defended his second position in Turns 1 and 2 against the Englishman, who used DRS at will to attack the man from Oviedo. Verstappen was just two seconds ahead of schedule, so Alonso attacked as hard as he could to get away, not letting DRS pass for second or anything else.

After Alonso overtook Hamilton, the FIA ​​announced a decision not to award a penalty to Hamilton.
