Lewis Hamilton Gets Sent AIRBORNE After A Collision With Fernando Alonso At The Belgian Grand Prix

What a WILD collision to start the Belgian Grand Prix. On the first lap, Lewis Hamilton made contact with Fernando Alonso and sent his car completely airborne. This shit looks straight outta Mario Kart. Did Alonso hit him wit a green shell or something???

Thank God Lewis Hamilton is okay - this incident could've been MUCH uglier.

Former World Champion and Alpine driver Fernando Alonso absolutely roasted Hamilton after the collision:

Now this is gonna be a hot take, but I know there's a few people out there that agree with me. Lewis Hamilton drives as aggressively as Verstappen, but gets none of the heat. Hamilton is the most gracious an elegant F1 driver that you could ever imagine. So his image and brand reduces the heat he would normally take for making extremely aggressive moves on the track. I respect the fuck out of Hamilton for an amazing career, but he gets away with too much shit simply because he's Lewis Hamilton.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Alonso stayed in the race, while Hamilton retired after the collision. This is the first race in the 2022 F1 season that Lewis Hamilton will not finish.
