Fernando Alonso has launched a strong attack on Kevin Magnussen for what he sees as creating the incident between the pair during qualifying at the Italian GP.
The two drivers were seen banging wheels through the first chicane at the start of their respective final laps in Q2, ending both their chances of making it into the top 10 shoot-out.
While under investigation by the stewards, Alonso believes the Dane’s poor judgement was the catalyst for the whole situation as driver’s looked to make space at Parabolica.
“We were all running together at the end of the out-lap and with all that traffic one of the Haas cars decided to overtake and start the lap in the middle of all the cars that were more or less in position,” he explained.
“So we started the lap together and we reached the first corner together and we ruined both our laps.”
The double world champion would then up the ante by suggesting it was the antics of Magnussen and teammate Romain Grosjean which were hurting the Haas team.
“There are many classes of drivers and then there are the Haas ones, who have the third or fourth-best car of the grid and are out in Q2.
“I got into Q2, which is one of the things that I wanted.
“It doesn’t change much for me, I guess more for them, but it’s fun, a lot of fun.”
The two are set to visit the stewards to give their side of the story, the end consequence was Magnussen finishing 11th, while Alonso will start 13th.
