“It’s difficult from the outside,” said Alonso, quoted by The Race. “It looked quite close. Lewis had more than half a car alongside Max. So, in a way, Lewis could not disappear from the inside line. It’s not that you can vanish,” he added.

Fernando Alonso stated that Lewis Hamilton could not be blamed for the incident, as he could not disappear from the inside line. He put it down as an unfortunate moment, and stated that it was unintentional from both drivers.

“It was an unfortunate moment of the race, but nothing intentional or nothing any of the two drivers did wrong in my opinion. That was an unlucky moment,” said Alonso.

Carlos Sainz, Ferrari driver decided against giving his opinion on the crash, and expressed mixed emotions. He stated that both drivers could have done something different, but refuses to blame any one particular driver.

“I obviously had a look at it, and honestly I had a bit of mixed feelings with the accident. First of all, wishing Max a speedy recovery because I heard the crash was quite big,” Sainz told Formula 1.

“The accident itself I think is very difficult to judge. Only both know what they could have done differently to avoid the crash. It was very tight, they are obviously fighting for big things and I’d prefer not to judge too much,” he added.
