Now that is some cracking banter between them.

I should think they are laughing their asses off behind the scenes.

Yep, he seems to have struck a chord. Still nobody denies that LH is a great driver, only that he is not as good in certain circunstances (when he is driving in the midfield).

Hamilton took responsibility and apologised. What more do you want?

It was an incredibly rare error of judgement from Hamilton, and he held up his hand to it.

Thing is in the case of LH that kind of errors are not rare. He has crashed into Rosberg, Albon (twice!), MV, KM, FA…so what the Spaniard said in the heat of the moment can be quite accurate indeed.

Doesn’t mean he is not a great driver, but that seems to be one of his weaknesses.

They've all crashed into each other?! Verstappen, Alonso, Vettel, Hamilton, LeClerc, all of them.

You don't push the limit each race and never crash.

The fact is that Hamilton was at the front for 8 years so didn't have many people to crash in to. Now that's he more in the midfield, when he does now have collisions, it's more notable.

But it's not a 'weakness' unless you're Maldonado and doing it every week.

Must think we have very short memories.

Undoubtedly impressive, however definitely not "destroyed" to use your terminology.

Alonso's remarks at Spa and his subsequent climb-down are absolutely fuel to the fire that Hamilton is still under his skin and in his head after 15 years. It is hardly desirous or constructive to harbour this kind of resentment for all of this time.

nah, Alonso has a guy crash into him and fly up in the air. He shouts 'what an idiot' - that's the normal reaction, most of us would do the same if we get cut up on the public road. Later on, when calm, he reckons these things happen lap1 at Spa. Fine.

I don't think anyone is referring to the "what an idiot" bit. But the bit afterwards, which was cringe worthy IMO.

Another foot in mouth episode for Alonso. At least he has apologised to Hamilton.

A win for Alonso's PR dept then.

No, but seriously, nice pic and good that this hasn't developed into a public feud.

Sounds to me like the PR departments of Alpine and Mercedes-Benz have got their heads together to defuse a situation that had every indication of getting out of control.

But, taking my cynic's hat off for a moment (lovely hat, beautiful plumage), I think it's a nice lighthearted resolution to the incident.

What engine is Fred using next year?

My thoughts exactly. But then I’m a cynical old barstart.

LH is saying today after FP1 for the Dutch GP that”if we all had the same car”. Lewis, it might have slipped your attention that many of the drivers on the F1 grids over the last few years have been saying the same.
