Fernando Alonso has apologised to Lewis Hamilton after the pair clashed on track at the Belgian Grand Prix. Before this week’s Dutch GP, the Spaniard admitted he was wrong in calling Hamilton “an idiot” and questioning his driving skill. Hamilton said he had not spoken to Alonso but insisted he had already dismissed the row.
The two drivers endured a trying year as teammates at McLaren when Hamilton made his F1 debut in 2007. They have since enjoyed a good relationship on and off track but at Spa Alonso was furious when Hamilton hit him while attempting to pass at Les Combes.
