Lewis Hamilton hits back at Fernando Alonso jibe

http://motogp-f1-races.blogspot.com
Lewis Hamilton has accused Fernando Alonso of sour grapes as their bitter rivalry in resurfaced following Sunday's contentious European Grand Prix.

Alonso said that the race was "manipulated," and accused Hamilton of disrespect for overtaking the safety car in Valencia.

Specifically asked if Alonso's reaction was a case of sour grapes, the McLaren driver replied: "Yeah."

And Hamilton added: "I saw him overtaken by the Sauber. He must have been completely in another world."

Referring to Kamui Kobayashi's overtaking manoeuvre on Alonso on the penultimate lap, Hamilton added: "It's very unlike him to be overtaken by a Sauber."

For his infringement, Hamilton was handed and drive-through penalty but retained second place behind Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel.
