After causing a massive crash at the first turn of the Belgian Grand Prix, both Nico Hülkenberg and Fernando Alonso are being summoned to the stewards' office to explain their side of the story.

Alonso was just a victim, really. Hülkenberg completely missed his braking point, and slammed into Alonso's backside with incredible speed. Alonso's McLaren got launched as a result, taking Charles Leclerc, Daniel Ricciardo and indirectly Kimi Raikkonen out in the process.

The Spaniard was very unhappy with Hülkenberg, and he'll let the stewards know he had nothing to do with the incident and was merely a product of the Hulk's late braking. To be continued!
