Hamilton hits out at ‘disloyal’ Alonso after evidence threat

LEWIS HAMILTON has raised the stakes for this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix with another swipe at team-mate and title rival Fernando Alonso.

The world championship leader has accused the Spaniard of being disloyal to McLaren after Alonso threatened to reveal evidence that would implicate the team in the spying row with Ferrari due to an argument with principal Ron Dennis at the Hungarian Grand Prix over his status in the Woking-based outfit.

And Hamilton believes Alonso’s behaviour was unforgivable given their attempts to make him feel at home after his switch from Renault.
