Fernando Alonso expressed strong emotions towards Lewis Hamilton immediately after finishing the Singapore Grand Prix. Alonso, driving for Aston Martin, secured eighth place but is expected to move up to seventh due to Hamilton’s potential penalty. Hamilton, driving for Ferrari, encountered brake failure in the final laps, allowing Alonso to close the gap and finish closely behind.
Despite Hamilton’s efforts to maintain his position, he faced scrutiny for exceeding track limits multiple times. Alonso, frustrated by the situation, vocally criticized the lack of penalties for Hamilton’s violations over team radio. Following the race, Alonso insisted that Hamilton deserved at least a five-second penalty for his actions.
Alonso’s concerns were addressed by the race stewards, who penalized Hamilton with a five-second time addition for repeatedly leaving the track without valid reasons. As a result, Hamilton dropped to eighth place, behind Alonso in the final classification.
