They collided at the opening corner as Hamilton refused to back down, with Alonso picking up a puncture in the process.

Lance Stroll also suffered damage, while Lando Norris was punted out of the race completely.

Hamilton escaped punishment from the stewards though, leaving Alonso enraged.

He claimed Hamilton “arrived like a bull” and “ruined” the race – was not told off “because he is not Spanish.”

However, Hamilton faced problems of his own during the race after also getting tangled up with Kevin Magnussen.

The Haas ace was punished for his actions by the stewards, and afterwards apologised for his driving.

Hamilton was informed of Magnussen’s words afterwards and graciously accepted the apology.

However, he also made a huge faux pas while on live TV.

And Hamilton quickly realised and said sorry.

The seven-time world champ, who is leaving Mercedes for Ferrari next year, said: “I think that’s really honest of him and I think that’s pretty cool.

“We had a good race, it was a little bit on the edge in some places.

“That’s what I love, I love racing hard and so for me I wasn’t really p****d, sorry, frustrated or anything.

“But that’s what you do to work as a team so bravo.”
