Lewis Hamilton slammed for "very dangerous" Fernando Alonso incident in F1 controversy

Former Minardi boss Paul Stoddart believes Lewis Hamilton should've received a five-second penalty at Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix.

Mercedes star Hamilton was probed by Formula One stewards in Montreal following an incident in the pit lane with Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso. The stewards decided to take no action against either of the drivers, but Stoddart thinks Hamilton was at fault.

The incident unfolded when Alonso and Hamilton pitted at the same time, with the latter's stopping point just in front of his rival's. Alonso then exited the pits marginally quicker than Hamilton, which almost caused a collision when the Brit pulled out. Alonso's stop time was 2.3 seconds, while Hamilton's was 3.2 seconds.
