Sky F1 commentator Martin Brundle believes the relationship between former world champions Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso remains frosty after the two battled around the streets of Monte Carlo at the Monaco Grand Prix last weekend.
Hamilton grew increasingly frustrated with Alonso’s pace during the final tyre stint of the race, with his ex-McLaren teammate struggling to find the pace as Lando Norris pulled away in sixth. Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff lent his thoughts on the matter, claiming the Spaniard was driving at a pace more resembling of Formula 2 as he patrolled around the principality.
Alonso responded by claiming that his Alpine teammate Esteban Ocon was stuck behind Hamilton once the two-time world champion finally began to push. The Frenchman had already picked up a five-second penalty after colliding with Hamilton earlier in the race, with the incident forcing him out of the points from ninth to P12.
