He made few mistakes given his incredible speed, and one only has to go back to Brazil last year to be reminded that he knows how to navigate his way through the peloton. No doubt Lewis will remember this error in judgment by Fernando. »

Even though Martin Brundle takes the defense of Lewis Hamilton following the remarks of Fernando Alonsohe also believes that the Briton still has some responsibility for the accident. “Lewis said he couldn’t see Fernando who was in his blind spot, but frankly he had to be somewhere, and the Spaniard did his best to stay on the outside and give him enough time. ‘space. Lewis reviewed the footage and immediately accepted responsibility, rightly, for the incident. Mercedes couldn’t get the tires to work in qualifying, but were sure they would do better in the race with warmer conditions. For his part, Lewis Hamilton will never know because of an unusual mistake at the Combes corners, where he touched the side of Alonso’s car which was on the outside, which sent him flying. »
