Hamilton: I mishandled Alonso back in 2007
|
| Lewis Hamilton concedes mistakes were made during his first year at McLaren where he “misinterpreted and misunderstood” the situation when he came up against double World Champ Fernando Alonso. |
| The animosity between the two 2007 McLaren drivers reached fever point during qualifying at the Hungarian GP where underhanded tactics in the pits came to the fore. |
| At the time, Alonso accused the team of favouring Hamilton by “holding me back”, although the race stewards had a different view point and stripped the Spaniard of pole position, effectively handing it to Hamilton. |
