- Briton crashed out of Belgian GP after hitting Fernando Alonso
- Race was won by world championship leader Max Verstappen
Lewis Hamilton has admitted he was at fault after he crashed out of the Belgium Grand Prix having hit Fernando Alonso. The British driver said however he was grateful to be alive after the crash had launched his car into the air and the damage forced him to retire from the race.
Alonso called him an idiot for the incident to which the seven-time champion responded by saying he he would refuse to talk to the Spaniard. Hamilton and Alonso had both started well in the race, which was won by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, but Hamilton went to make a pass at Les Combes and the pair clashed.
