"I am really disappointed and feel like I let the team down today," Hamilton rued afterwards, holding his hand up to the mistake that saw him bog down at the start. "I am always am the first to blame myself. The whole weekend has not been ideal starting with the accident on Friday, but I will keep my chin up and bounce back at the next race. "
Hamilton said it as quoted in autocourse.com
Pat Symond also said that! Alonso had done nothing to contribute to the accident. Fernando was coming out of the turn and accelerating down the straight," explained Symonds. "He reached fifth gear, at 227km/h, on full throttle, no touching of the brakes or anything like that. And you can see on the accelerometer the impact. He got hit from behind.
When asked about the view of some experts in the paddock who believed it could have been a brake test, Symonds said: "Well, they are not as expert as they think then. We have the data and there is nothing untoward there. You don't need to be an expert to see that."
