In the first lap of the Belgian Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso made contact with each other, forcing Hamilton to leave the race early.
The two drivers were fighting for third, but their cars made contact which caused Hamilton’s car to jump in the air for a brief moment. While Alonso was allowed to continue the race, Hamilton was pulled out due to damage to his car.
Over a radio message that was played on the broadcast, Alonso expressed his displeasure with Hamilton.
“What an idiot! Closing the door from the outside,” he said, via ESPN’s Nate Saunders.
