Fernando Alonso gets controversial pole in Hungary

Controversy just cant seem to leave McLaren, as Fernando Alonso got pole position, allegations are that Fernando Alonso deliberately delayed Lewis Hamilton during qualifying, so much so, that Lewis Hamilton made the following comments after qualifying ::
“There’s not really much to say you saw what happened,” Lewis Hamilton said.
“The team did a great job and we had very good pace, but I’m not aware of what happened. You should ask the team.”
He later said the time he lost was equivalent to the time he wasted behind Alonso. Rumours are in the air that Alonso will be leaving McLaren soon and that there is a HUGE rift in the team. Only time will tell the truth.
