A post-Miami Grand Prix moment between Alpine<\/a>\u2019s Franco Colapinto<\/a> and Ferrari<\/a>\u2019s Lewis Hamilton<\/a> has earned praise from fans for \u201cgood sportsmanship\u201d.<\/p>\n

During the opening lap of the race at the Miami International Autodrome, the two drivers collided, resulting in aerodynamic damage to Hamilton\u2019s Ferrari that compromised his race pace.<\/p>\n

Frustrated by the contact, the seven-time champion was later caught on\u00a0untelevised onboard footage raising his middle finger at the Alpine driver as Hamilton finally managed to overtake him on the back straight.<\/p>\n

But by the time the race was over, it all seemed to be water under the bridge.<\/p>\n

\u201cFighting on track but leaving it behind off track is something we love to see. Good sportsmanship,\u201d one approving fan wrote on Reddit, while another added: \u201cRace was young Lewis, after race unc Lewis kicked in again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExactly as expected. Adrenaline always runs high and from your point of view you’re always right… Then the race ends, you cool down, you have time to reflect, maybe watch a replay and get a different perspective. Love to see there’s no bad blood between them and hopefully more battles to come,\u201d someone else commented.<\/p>\n

Others branded the moment \u201cwholesome\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLooks like Colapinto trying to apologise and Lewis playing it down and saying it\u2019s all good. Wholesome,\u201d one wrote.<\/p>\n

Hamilton commented on the contact in an Instagram post after the race. \u201cA challenging weekend for us,\u201d Hamilton posted. \u201cWith the contact, I was pretty much stuck in no man’s land and couldn’t extract more from the car.<\/p>\n

“Tough to take especially given all the hard work the team has put in, but this won’t define us. It’s how we keep going. We’re taking what we can from these past few days and putting everything else behind us. We move forward.”<\/p>\n
