Alonso: 'One day I will have to crash into Vettel'

Fernando Alonso expressed his dissatisfaction with Sebastian Vettel at the end of the Brazilian Grand Prix. The pilot McLaren was forced to give up his 7th place to the driver Ferrari after having to move aside to avoid contact with the SF16-H. The double world champion finally took tenth place despite a spin on the climb preceding the starting straight during the last restart.

“There was an escape route and I used it, but if there had been a wall, I would have had to choose between the wall and him and he will be the one I choose next time, warned Fernando Alonso after the race. I'll just hit him, he'll lose more points than me. »

Fernando Alonso criticized Sebastian Vettel's maneuver, which was all the more unjustified in the eyes of the Asturian given the rainy conditions.

“We don't have the same visibility in the rain as in the dry, recalled Fernando Alonso. My mirrors were full of water and I couldn't see anything behind me. In the end, nothing happened, but there will come a day when I will have to hit him so that he understands that the track belongs to everyone. »

Jenson Button had a difficult race despite his qualities in the rain. The Briton finished last after complaining about the behavior of his MP4-31, whether on intermediate or wet tires.
