Hamilton livid over Alonso manoeuvre

THE gloves have well and truly came off in Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso’s world championship scrap.

Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa clinched a Ferrari one-two in the Belgian GP yesterday but the major talking point was the opening corner battle between McLaren teammates Alonso and Hamilton, who went on to finish third and fourth respectively.

Alonso, desperately defending his third position, almost forced Hamilton off the track and out of the race. The 22-year-old British rookie, leading the championship by just two points, was upset with Alonso’s aggressive defence.
