Fernando Alonso has spilled what he has described as being “the truth” about his spectacular and controversial fallout with Lewis Hamilton at the 2007 F1 Hungarian Grand Prix.
Friction between Alonso and Hamilton came to a head during a dramatic qualifying session for the 2007 Hungarian Grand Prix, which set in motion a series of events that ultimately led to the Spaniard’s exit from McLaren following a bust-up with Ron Dennis.
The two-time world champion was penalised for blocking his rookie teammate’s car in the pit lane, preventing Hamilton from completing a final attempt to claim pole position. Alonso went on to take pole but was handed a five-place grid drop, promoting Hamilton onto pole for the grand prix.
