Why Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso escaped punishment for almost colliding in pitlane at F1 Canadian Grand Prix
But no further action was taken despite the dramati🐬c moment in Monℱtreal.
“The Stewards reviewed external video and in-car video and audio ev﷽idence,” the FIA confirmed.
“We note that whileও Car 14 had to perform minor braking, i🌼n our view there was no risk of collision or the need for significant evasive action.”
Hamilton and Alonso both pitted moments after a Safety Car was cal🦋led for an incident involving Geoಞrge Russell.
The Aston Martin seemingly left his pit first but the Mercedes ended up in 💜front.
“Caution caution,” Hamilton was told by his race engineer over team radio. “You’🐠re just ahead."
But Alonso 𝓀appeared to wave a frustrated hand in Hamilton’s direction.
"I had to brake in the pits,” he said vꦗia team radio.
Alonso finished as runn﷽er-up behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen, while Hamilton c🤡ompleted the podium.
