Lewis Hamilton explains his playful social media jab at Fernando Alonso.
Lewis Hamilton playfully teased his old F1 rival Fernando Alonso on social media after the Singapore Grand Prix, calling it “just a little bit of fun.” Hamilton faced brake issues and barely held onto his seventh-place finish, narrowly beating Alonso. The intense race led to Alonso’s furious radio outburst criticizing Hamilton’s driving. Hamilton later posted a video poking fun at Alonso on Instagram. Despite the drama, Hamilton felt the five-second penalty he received was fair. Alonso, on the other hand, believed even a one-second penalty would have been enough. Hamilton described the late-race brake drama as “nerve-wracking” but ultimately accepted the penalty and the outcome.
