Lewis Hamilton drives the World Championship surprisingly this season after his predominant triumph in the Hungarian Grand Prix, yet in some routes occasions after the race were generally as critical as what happened on track.
Not fulfilled by the unavoidable mental hit to title rival Nico Rosberg that more likely than not accompany the learning that Hamilton had picked up 49 focuses on him in only six races, the best on the planet straightforwardly undermined his Mercedes team-mate in the post-race news gathering. While sitting right beside him.
Furthermore, in the wake of sitting listening to it, Rosberg swam right in there himself.
The contention was about the occasions of qualifying, when Hamilton had missed out on shaft to Rosberg on Saturday in questionable circumstances.
Hamilton was a long way from the main driver who felt stewards had been off-base in permitting Rosberg to keep the lap time that was set while twofold waved yellow banners – the most astounding alert cautioning before a security car – were being shown.
In spite of that, he said at the time he was “not very baffled”, while including that he felt the circumstance required clearing up. “The stewards need to come up with some kind of solution because the whole 23 years of my racing, it has been ‘if it’s yellow flag, you slow down’ and if it’s double yellow flag, you be prepared to stop and Nico was doing the same speed at the apex as I was doing on the previous timed lap,” Hamilton said, as Rosberg sat, face like thunder, alongside him.
“If there happened to be a car that was spun or a marshal on the track, it would have been pretty hard for him to have slowed down in that case.
“And the fact that he didn’t get penalised for it means that we need to be careful because the message we’re sending not only to the drivers here but also to the drivers in the lower categories is that it’s now possible for you to lose only one 10th of a second in a double-waved yellow flag section, which is one of the most dangerous scenarios.
“They need to clear that up because before it was two-tenths that you were meant to lose with one yellow flag and half a second with two yellow flags. It wasn’t the case yesterday and there was no penalty.
“So going into the next race, we could be battling for pole position and we see double yellow flags and we know we only have to do a small lift and lose one-tenth of a second and we’ll be fine and go purple in the sector.”
