Fernando Alonso and
Lewis Hamilton touched at turn one in the sprint race. This put Alonso into a sandwich with his teammate
Lance Stroll, who, in turn, touched
Lando Norris. The
McLaren driver was spun around and had to retire. Alonso immediately blamed Hamilton.
Alonso said on the radio: "Hamilton arrived like a bull". The seven-time World Champion responded on his own team radio and explained that he saw a gap up the inside and went for it.
