As the cars raced down towards Turn 5, the Aston Martin driver moved to the right and heavily lifted off the throttle before returning to the racing line for the corner entry.<\/p>\n<p>This prompted a furious response from Hamilton, who was less than impressed by the Spaniard\u2019s antics. \u201cHe just brake-tested me,\u201d he fumed. \u201cI got brake tested like way before the braking zone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fans were left scratching their heads as to what Alonso\u2019s plan was with his brake-testing move, and even co-commentator Martin Brundle was at a loss for words when attempting to explain the 42-year-old\u2019s possible motivations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Damon Hill worried about Lewis Hamilton after Abu Dhabi Grand Prix comments[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Davidson, however, came up with a theory. \u201cAs they come up to this white line, Fernando slams on the brakes,\u201d the former Super Aguri and Honda driver explained. \u201cAnd you know what that white line is? It\u2019s the DRS detection point, isn\u2019t it?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I think Fernando\u2026 I\u2019ll just go to his onboard and you\u2019ll see where he\u2019s looking as he comes out of the pits.
