Bitter rivals bury the hatchet

Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso are friends again, it seems. And all it took was one sporting gesture by the Spaniard: Nando was one of the first to visit McLaren’s garage after the Brazilian Grand Prix to congratulate Lewis on his world title.

“It was great to see him in the garage,” Lewis said of Alonso’s stop-and-chat. “He came over as I saw my team, I turned round and he was there, just to wish me congratulations. Then he said congratulations to the rest of the team.

“I had a huge amount of respect for him already, but it took a big man to come and do that so I was very thankful to him.”

Beautiful, just beautiful.

It won’t last.
