When Lewis Hamilton arrived in the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps paddock for the race this year, he declined to sign a picture of his collision with Fernando Alonso at the 2022 Belgian Grand Prix. In 2022, on the opening lap of the Kemmel Straight, the seven-time world champion made collision with his former McLaren teammate, sending his W13 airborne and terminating his race early. Kym Illman, a photographer, explained the encounter on social media. A guest in the paddock asked Hamilton to sign the printed photo. The Mercedes driver retorted in a “kind but firm” way, “I can’t sign that.”
