Liam Lawson and Fernando Alonso were involved in an odd tussle with each other at the 2024 F1 US GP sprint race and Grand Prix qualifying. Both had intense on and off-track moments.
At the start of the US GP sprint race on Saturday, Lawson was seen aggressively overtaking Alonso at the opening lap, and then rashly defending his P15 from the Spaniard. Both drivers were fighting for P15 and P16 throughout the race, where they came dangerously close to crashing into each other on Lap 2 in Turn 12.
Because of Fernando Alonso and Liam Lawson's intense battle for non-point places, Esteban Ocon took the opportunity to overtake both of them. After this, Alonso angrily called Liam Lawson an "idiot" on his team radio.
