Belgian GP: Lewis Hamilton walking back to garage after Fernando Alonso crash

A video has emerged online of Lewis Hamilton walking back to the garage following his retirement from the Belgian Grand Prix, and it has gained mass attention online with many fans expressing sympathy for the Mercedes driver who has had a season to forget, by his exceptional standards.

The seven-time world champion retired from the Belgian Grand Prix on the first lap following a collision with Alpine’s Fernando Alonso at Les Combes.

The Brit tried to continue, however, soon dropped behind the pack before having to retire the car.

And following a telling off by way of a finger wag from rival Alonso, Hamilton found himself having to walk back to the paddock, which was dramatically filmed and has gone on to become a hit on the internet.

The video showing Hamilton looking very forlorn as he walked along the barren service road has attracted lots of attention online due to its meme material, with comments such as, “Lewis Hamilton walking away into the forest/quarry will be a fun meme,” and “That shot of Lewis Hamilton walking down the service road is maybe the most unintentionally hilarious thing about this F1 season.”
