Fernando Alonso's onboard footage shows how high Lewis Hamilton went after crash

Formula 1 returned from the summer break this weekend, fuelled by anticipation and excitement. Where better to get the action back underway than the infamous Spa in Belgium?

It was a rough start to the season for the whole Mercedes team, whose fall from grace has seen them trying to play catch up to Red Bull and even Ferrari.

George Russell is placed higher of the two drivers with Lewis Hamilton unable to compete with Max Verstappen for the Drivers’ Championship.

He made some punchy comments in the media in the lead-up to this race, suggesting that him and his team were going to be there or thereabouts.

Qualifying didn’t exactly go to plan, but nobody could have predicted what was to happen the following afternoon.

Hamilton made an aggressive dive down the left of Spaniard Fernando Alonso and next thing you know, the seven-time champion was up in the air.
