  • Media misrepresenting drivers

    In an Aussie newspaper I was annoyed to read this:
    " The seven-time world champion lashed out at his own team after the Miami Grand Prix, frustrated he was asked if he wanted to pit for fresh tyres during a safety car period.
    rCLMake the decision for me. YourCOve got all the details right there in front of you. I donrCOt.rCY "
    He's not "lashing out", under pressure, he's communicating with them that he feels they are better placed to decide.
    I'm sick of the media misrepresenting facts.
    Grrrrrrrrr. Rant over see ya.

    Sounded very much to me like he was expressing his frustration that they
    were asking him rather than advising him. Some what more than simply 'communicating', but certainly short of 'lashing out'.

    I was listening to it at the time...

    ...and it did sound like "lashing out"...

    ...particularly as Hamilton is vocal about it when he doesn't like the
    teams strategy call.
