Fernando Alonso has hit out at his rivals' conduct on the opening lap of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
The Spaniard was hit heavily by Williams' Sergey Sirotkin on the first lap in Baku. The incident also involved Renault's Nico Hulkenberg as the trio were side by side exiting Turn 2 with three cars coming into contact.
The collision left Alonso with a damaged front wing and two punctures which in turn damaged the floor of his McLaren. The two-time champion recovered -- with the aid of two Safety Car periods -- to finish seventh for the third race in succession.
