Being disqualified from the Australian GP was bad enough, but this story just makes him look like a blatant cheat. Idiot.

I think in some ways McLaren are like Hahahearts.
Everybody seems to be against them and they seemed to be at the end of some poor decisions. However are they both coming across as cheats. The worst type of sportsmen.
I had every sympathy for McLaren when they were involved in the spy scandal with Ferrari thinking it was more likely to be a two way thing and Alonso didn’t seem to be that white either. However this latest episode seems to indicate win at all costs and screw the rules mentality. “Away and do whatever it takes and if your found out we’ll sack you .” Sort of thing.
Very sad.Space to let

Hamilton knew he was lying tothe stewards yet comes out and says "I'm not a liar" basically blaming Dave Ryan instead. Very sad. Lost a lot of respect for the guy.

he was doing what ryan told him to do, whitmarsh said the exact same thing, hamilton was following team instructions, im not going to excuse hamiltons or mclarens actions as i said on another thread but the is more to it than just hamilton is a liar.

fair enough,
like i said im not defending hamiltons actions at all, im just saying ryan is not an innocent by-stander in all this, yeah hamiltons lied, he apologised and i personally hope mclaren and hamilton have learned a lot from this and wont try anything so stupid again.

Can anyone explain they are meant to have lied about?
Did he let Trulli overtake knowing that he would get a penalty and guarentee himself 3rd place?
Cheers

the lie came when hamilton and ryan were interviewed by race stewards, and hamilton and ryan witheld the information that ryan told hamilton to let trulli passed as hamilton took trullis place under a safety car.
hope that helps

What a bunch of bairns eh!
FWIW I think that there is some kind of discrimination against Hamilton in F1.
I was laughing when I heard about the points being removed because I remember a commentator / news reporter saying that Hamilton had benefitted from Trulli's penalty and been moved to 3rd place. I was thinking Hamilton actually got a decision his way and then it was taken away from him.

On a totally different tack: how fantastic is the BBC coverage of F1? They have really taken it seriously this time, with even the practice sessions available on the website. The presenting team is first class too.

the bbc have taken it to a new level, i never used to be able to watch practices but when i was it was just a live stream with no commentry.
now i can watch them all and when i suits me as well, the presenters are quality, when i heard about coulthard i wasnt sure but it was worked out very well indeed

My favourite bit today was Martin Brundle on the starting grid trying to get a look at the toyota's rear diffuser and the mechanics dancing about in front of him to block the view
