True, so it backfired for him somewhat in the end, though I thought he might get away with it. Especially when the interviewer completely glossed over the incident and had the audacity to say to Hamilton he had an uneventful qualifying session, or something along those lines! I was thinking Hamilton should have 'accidentally' spun it on the last corner when he realised he wouldn't get round in time so Alonso wouldn't be able to get his lap in either, though he would probably have been penalised too, so it worked out well in the end!
Alonso was probably my favourite driver before Hamilton came along though, so was especially disappointed by him, though it was kind of funny!
