Fernando Alonso hits out at 'soft' Silverstone stewarding

SILVERSTONE, U.K. -- Fernando Alonso has called the stewards at the British Grand Prix "soft" after they decided not to investigate an incident involving Kevin Magnussen towards the end of the race.

Alonso was battling with Esteban Ocon for seventh position after the second Safety Car period when he went deep at Luffield and left the door open for Magnussen to pass. The Haas driver seized the opportunity, easing Alonso wide on the exit of the corner and forcing the McLaren to dip its wheels in the gravel.

Alonso attempted to fight back at Maggots on the same lap but was cut off by Magnussen before finally passed the Haas into Turn 3 on the final lap of the race.
