Felipe Massa wasn’t too happy with his teammate in China after Fernando Alonso passed him in the pitlane entry, pushing the Brazilian wide and into the gravel trap. Despite this, Alonso says he would do the same again.
It was a move which rival driver Mark Webber thought was an ‘incredibly risky’ move which could have ended in tears had they collided.
“It was very hard against your team-mate, if fair, but also incredibly risky and incredibly opportunistic,” Webber told the BBC.
“And I’m not sure I’d want to risk walking into the factory having taken both cars out at the entry to the pit lane. That would have been a pretty serious one to try and get over.”
Despite the friction it might have caused between the pair, Alonso is adamant he would do the same thing again.
“Certainly, without any doubt,” he told Corriere de la Sera.
