Alonso was ahead of Lance Stroll and Hamilton as they whizzed around the track.
The Spaniard and the Brit were both preparing for fast laps as, meanwhile, Stroll was on a fast lap of his own.
Alonso saw his team-mate coming and allowed him to pass.
Hamilton saw this and used the chance to overtake the 43-year-old without a point this season on the outside.

The seven-time world champion's move angered Alonso and he was heard saying over the team radio: "We have the hero of the day in front of us.
"The good thing is that the weekend is very long, even the championship is very long."
Alonso and Hamilton have a long-standing rivalry that dates back to when they were team-mates at McLaren in 2007.
Both were involved in confrontations on and off the track, with Alonso opening up about their relationship last year.
