So I've looked at this video 10-15 times and the more I see it the more it looks like Alonso moved aggressively into Hamilton Line to defend his position and thereby ( by his lack of speed, deliberate or not) simply caused Hamilton to run into the back of his car

I see Alonso coming off the corner on the ideal line and then moving into the middle of the race track for no reason other than to bother LH, who was clearly going to overtake him on that straight.

He did not pull out of his ideal line to overtake the car in from of him, he simply moved across the track with a faster car approaching him quickly.

I know LH took the high road and refused to lay blame on anyone else but himself. I also know that Renault are ferociously making available telemetry to prove otherwise, but my issue is not with the speed ( or lack thereof as they proclaim) but with the move to the inside of the track where a faster car was clearly outpacing them to overtake and he simply moved over to have that car crash into his back.

I'm pretty sure that this isn't going to be the end of this story as I've heard rumors that Renault and Alonso are going to be called in to explain themselves.

I would ask all who comment to watch the video first and see for themselves if his move to the inside was warranted or not.
