Fernando Alonso breaks silence on role in Lewis Hamilton controversy

Fernando Alonso has insisted that he never purposefully held up Lewis Hamilton during qualifying at the 2007 Hungarian Grand Prix, despite the fact the Spaniard was penalised for it. Alonso and Hamilton had a hostile relationship at McLaren in 2007, the only season of their careers in which they were team-mates. The Spaniard moved to McLaren as a defending two-time World Champion, whilst Hamilton was a young and exciting rookie driver.
