Fernando Alonso reigns in his comments admitting Grosjean "did a better job"

Fernando Alonso has now admitted Romain Grosjean "did a better job" under the VSC restart. The Spaniard initially suggested it was an illegal move over the McLaren team radio.

The Haas driver overtook Alonso at the restart of the VSC early in the race. To the birthday boy's surprise, the stewards didn't investigate the issue. But having reflected on the race, he now understands why.

"He really stole my wallet. He did a better job. We have a few seconds of warning that the safety car is going to end so I tried to get close to the delta that you get, and when it went green I went full throttle and Grosjean was already by my side," he told TV crews in Hungary.

Following pitstops and 63 laps later, Alonso finished ahead of Romain Grosjean.
