Lewis Hamilton has moved to end a new war of words with his former sparring partner Fernando Alonso.<\/p>\n
In the wake of Alonso’s post-Valencia outburst, suggesting “even a child” knows the safety car cannot be overtaken, Hamilton hit back by reportedly accusing the Spaniard of “sour grapes”.<\/p>\n
But at a paintballing session with his McLaren teammate Jenson Button and the British media, the 25-year-old insisted he is not concerned about Alonso’s claim that stewards “manipulated” his European GP victory.<\/p>\n
“It doesn’t worry me,” newspapers quote Hamilton as saying.\u00a0 “I’ll just keep focused on my job.”<\/p>\n
The 2008 world champion, and current championship leader, said recently that the 2010 title might mean more than ever to the winner because of the competitiveness of the field.<\/p>\n
“We’re all feeling the pressure,” continued Hamilton, still referring to Alonso’s outbursts.<\/p>\n
“It’s the most intense season so far for all of us.\u00a0 You’ve seen even with me this year; when you put your whole heart and passion into it you are not always correct with what you say.<\/p>\n
“I had that experience in Australia, you know, so we all do it.”<\/p>\n
