Fernando Alonso is not the friendliest character you’ll come across when he’s put his racing helmet on. However, 4-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel feels that this one time, the Spaniard has gone too far.

At the Belgian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso were involved in a lap 1 shunt. Alonso came onto the radio with a berating rant about Hamilton’s history of starting from the front and his apparent inability to battle with other cars. Sebastian Vettel has now hit out at the Spaniard for his comments about Hamilton.

Vettel explained, “But I think we are aware of the fact that radio calls are public and I think it was a very disrespectful comment.”

He went on to further rationalize his views by saying, “Lewis is one of the fairest drivers on the grid, I don’t think he had any intentions to be unfair and did a mistake. We all do mistakes, even Fernando sometimes does mistakes.”

Fernando Alonso “stopped by” to bury the hatchet with Lewis Hamilton after Spa spat

We all know how intense the rivalry between Fernando Alonso and Hamilton was back in their McLaren days. Hence, it should not come as a surprise that whenever these two collide, there will be drama.

However, in light of the Belgian Grand Prix shunt between the two, it seems they have buried that hatchet.

In the aftermath of the whole radio rant, Alonso apologized for his comments. He also said, “Lewis is a champion, he’s a legend of our time.”

However, he contextualized his comments by explaining, “And then when you say something – and I’m sorry to repeat this – against a British driver, there is huge media involvement after that.”
