After crossing the finish line at the Singapore Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso expressed strong dissatisfaction towards Lewis Hamilton. Alonso, driving for Aston Martin, finished eighth but is likely to move up to seventh place due to Hamilton’s troubles. Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 champion driving for Ferrari, faced a brake failure in the final laps, struggling to maintain control of his car and crossing the finish line just ahead of Alonso.

Hamilton’s numerous violations of track limits are under scrutiny by race stewards, putting his position in jeopardy. Despite anticipating an investigation by the FIA, Alonso couldn’t contain his frustration and unleashed a heated tirade over the radio at the end of the race.

Alonso criticized Hamilton for his track violations and suggested a post-race penalty. Ultimately, stewards imposed a five-second penalty on Hamilton for repeatedly leaving the track without valid reasons, resulting in him dropping to eighth place behind Alonso.
