Lewis Hamilton's radio message about Fernando Alonso isn't as savage as first reported during live AusGP coverage. F1
Why might there be tension between Alonso and Hamilton?
Heading into the Australian Grand Prix weekend, Alonso spoke with French publication L’Equipe and poked fun at Hamilton’s memory of just how quick Mercedes have been after Hamilton suggested Red Bull’s RB19 is more dominant than any of his own cars. Alonso also went on to say: “With a normal car, you can see that he has weaknesses. Before, he drove alone or sometimes with his team-mate. But look, he is the record holder for poles and George Russell has just given him a 2-0 in qualifying this season. It just goes to show how much the car is still a key factor…”.
“I tried to put some pressure but he had an incredible race, no mistakes at all, as you probably expect from him, a champion. But only one lock-up, I think, Turn 13, in 58 laps. So I was trying to put pressure but nothing happened. So yeah, I will take P3.”
