At Spa earlier this year, Hamilton and Alonso were involved in a lap 1 scuffle that led to the 7x Champion retiring from the race. However, Alonso quickly came on to the team radio and had a pretty harsh evaluation of the Brit’s entire F1 career!

After colliding with The Briton, the Spaniard was heard saying, “What an idiot! Closing the door from the outside. We had a great start, but this guy only knows how to drive and start in first.” But afterward, they did makeup.

At the US GP Free Practice 2 session in Austin, the two crossed paths once again. This time, too, the Spaniard had a few words for his old teammate.

Seen from Alonso’s onboard, Hamilton was blocking Alonso who was on a run of his own in the final sector of the lap.

Feeling obstructed, and frustrated by what was going on, Alonso came on to the team radio to air his dissatisfaction with Hamilton. “Hamilton has no mirrors today. Unbelievable!”.
