WATCH: Lewis Hamilton Once Again Falls Victim to Fernando Alonso’s Road Rage on American Grounds

Published 10/22/2022, 7:50 AM EDT

Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso are inseparable in F1. Even though they don’t particularly see eye-to-eye and don’t always have comparable machinery, they always seem to find each other on the track, even now.

At Spa earlier this year, Hamilton and Alonso were involved in a lap 1 scuffle that led to the 7x Champion retiring from the race. However, Alonso quickly came on to the team radio and had a pretty harsh evaluation of the Brit’s entire F1 career!

After colliding with The Briton, the Spaniard was heard 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.” But afterward, they did makeup.

At the US GP Free Practice 2 session in Austin, the two crossed paths once again. This time, too, the Spaniard had a few words for his old teammate.

Seen from Alonso’s onboard, Hamilton was blocking Alonso who was on a run of his own in the final sector of the lap.

In an interview released on Aston Martin’s website, the German revealed his biggest foes on track. He began, “Lewis [Hamilton], especially when I was at Ferrari, Lewis has always been right up there.”. He then went on, “Before that, it was probably Fernando [Alonso] when he was at Ferrari.”
