The 22-year-old championship-leading rookie said after winning the Hungarian Grand Prix that he and Alonso had not spoken since the Spaniard was stripped of pole position for blocking the Briton in qualifying the day before. While Hamilton was promoted to the top slot on the starting grid and won, double world champion Alonso was demoted to sixth place and finished fourth. That left him seven points behind his team mate with six races remaining. "He doesn't seem to have been speaking to me since yesterday. So I don't know if he has a problem," Hamilton told a news conference at the Hungaroring. McLaren were barred from scoring Formula One constructors' points in the race, subject to any appeal, for their role in the qualifying incident.
