Lewis Hamilton has claimed he "doesn't care" after Fernando Alonso called the Mercedes star an "idiot" after their lap one crash at the Belgian Grand Prix. Hamilton swept around the outside of Fernando Alonso in a bid to take second place on lap one. However, the pair made contact at Les Combes with Alonso's front-wing smashing into Hamilton's rear-right tyre.
The impact chucked the Mercedes into the air with Hamilton forced to retire half a lap later. After the accident, Alonso blamed Hamilton as he swiped back at the seven-time champion. Speaking over his team radio, Alonso said: "Yeah, what an idiot! Closing the door from the outside.
I mean, we had a mega start but this guy only knows how to drive and start in first. "Hamilton accepted the blame for the shunt as he recorded his first retirement of the season. He told Sky Sports F1: "No.
