Fernando Alonso apologized to Lewis Hamilton for the “heat of the moment” remarks he made over the radio during last weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix.
The two former world champions collided on the first lap, which sent Hamilton’s car in the air and forced the Mercedes driver to exit the race early. Alonso could be heard over the team radio, which was broadcasted, saying, “What an idiot! Closing the door from the outside. We had a great start, but this guy only knows how to drive and start in first.”
Hamilton later took the blame for the incident.
