Tilton/Getty Images) An extended practice session at the 2022 F1 United States Grand Prix saw raging over after being held up by the latter while making his way through the track. Since Pirelli is testing tires for the 2023 season, the usual one-hour FP2 session was given an extra 30 minutes at COTA. While most drivers struggled for grip on the test tires due to the temperatures, there were other issues for Alonso. As he made his way through on his hot lap, he was soon held up by Hamilton, who did not give him space to go through. This agitated the Spaniard as he notified his team on the radio. : "Hamilton has no mirrors today!"

Fernando's not too happy with Lewis out on track

: "Hamilton has no mirrors today!" Fernando's not too happy with Lewis out on track "Hamilton has no mirrors today, unbelievable." Although drivers are not forced to make way for faster cars during a practice session, they usually do so while on their out-lap or in-lap. Since lap time wasn't such an issue during the tire test, however, Hamilton did not get off the racing line, trapping Alonso behind like an actual race battle.

Lewis Hamilton still some distance away from a victory this season

The 2022 F1 season has been a hard hit for as they haven't been able to adapt aptly to the regulation changes. This made them fall down the grid, further than they had been in many years of domination. Lewis Hamilton has never finished an F1 season without a race win, but this year, the feat seems especially hard to achieve. With the team having improved a lot since the start of the season, a race win could soon be on the cards. With just four races left in the season, however, the odds appear stacked against them.
