McLaren driver Alonso picked up a double puncture in a chaotic first lap in Baku.
Kimi Raikkonen collided with Esteban Ocon pushing the Force India driver into the wall resulting in an early appearance from the safety car.
However, Sirotkin’s race also came to a premature end after he picked up a front left puncture.
But just before Sirotkin was forced the retire, he hit Alonso after being squeezed by Nico Hulkenberg which resulted in the McLaren driver sustaining a double right-hand side puncture.

Staggeringly, Alonso was able to limp back to the pits where mechanics managed to change tyres and give him a new front wing.
But the Spaniard was furious after the tussle with Sirotkin.
“Unbelievable,” Alonso vented over the team readio.

“You take care in corner one and corner two and they crash into you.
“F***ing stupid.”
It was later confirmed Alonso suffered damage to the floor of his McLaren, however he has been able to continue in the race.
