Alonso and Hamilton’s Qualifying Incident


It took some time and patience, but I finally managed to find a clip of the Alonso and Hamilton incident that occurred at Saturdays qualifying. The clips shows nicely why the FIA panelized Alonso, sending him back to the sixth starting position. I would feel somewhat okay had he done it to Raikkonen or Massa, but his own teammate? Either way, I think it was a good way to discipline him, but i doubt he learned anything out of this, and will most likely pull other unfair tactics in the future to achieve his goal.

  1. I understand the writers comments but they seem tobe taken without knowing that Hamilton had previously disobeyed team orders to let Alonso pass early in the session. Looks like he only got back what he gave out… The FIA should mind their own business.

  2. Yes. This was instigated by Hamilton and it not really Alonso fault. I think that either way they both should be ashamed and the real competition should be on the time trial. They both acted like children and are overpaid. Makes for good TV drama though and I know the shopping cart F1 fans are happy.

  3. Completely agree with Gf.
