Alonso looking sporty. Sir Stuffup not so much.
The stewards reaction to the incident was classic.
Vastly overstating the case.
I've got to say
The stewards reaction to the incident was classic.
My thought on hearing Alonso's message was if that's what he thinks
then why did he try to go wheel to wheel with Lewis in a corner?
the stewards are known to be more liberal on lap 1.
the mercedes and alpine drivers should've formed a collective pact and all slipstreamed and sling shotted for each other for at least for the first few laps or until the first round of pit stops - getting in each other's way helped none of them andjust helped verstappen to pass them all (leclerc merely blew it again) - mercedes would've at least increased their chances of a podium and both alpines would have been guaranteed higher finishes.
(at imola in 1982 i believe that about half the grid made a collective pact not to truly race until halfway - though that grid only had 14 cars and the pact was probably helped by most of the drivers agreeing to it being french speakers so easilyunderstanding each other - however that collective pact did famously confuse the 2 ferrari drivers who had made a separate pact with each other).
This one was absolutely clearcut.

Giving some leeway where it is unclear who did what is one thing.

It was only Alonso and Hamilton driving next to each other.
And Hamilton has admitted he was completely to blame.

There have been drivers who've been known for 'elbows out' racing
over the years and good drivers know to not mix it up with them too
much. IMO Alonso's reaction said more about his own driving than it
did about Lewis'.
Alonso has spent a lot of recent races deliberately being a mobile
chicane, he has to know that the better faster driver / car combos
are going to treat him harshly when passing him.
/devil's advocate

Well, at least Hamilton exposed again what POS Alonso is...
so I'm prepared to give Alonso a pass

Hamilton got a pass from stewards for a completely obvious case of
causing a collision, so I'm prepared to give Alonso a pass for words
said in the heat of the moment.

He was ahead going into the corner, even though Alonso squeezed him off
the track...
