Lewis Hamilton has explained how he has been in contact with Fernando Alonso via text message following the controversy involving the pair at the European Grand Prix. The Spaniard was clearly annoyed with the Englishman during the race after the latter illegitimately overtook the Safety Car.
As the Safety Car was deployed at the start of Lap 10 following Mark Webber’s monster accident with Heikki Kovalainen, Hamilton overtook the Bernd Mayländer-driven vehicle by a narrow but illegal margin.
With Hamilton having been able to finish second whereas Alonso, who was caught behind the Safety Car, came home a highly disappointed eighth, Hamilton has since explained that he and his former team-mate have been in communication following Alonso’s comments which described the race as ‘manipulated’.
“We are in touch,” Lewis explained to Reuters. “He has my number and I have his number. We messaged the other day, things are cool. I just messaged him to see how he was doing and he said everything's cool, he knows how the racing world works and that this is a tough year.”
