Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Team driver Lewis Hamilton feels victimised as the race stewards will investigate his driving behaviour during the Japanese Grand Prix. Hamilton is accused of deliberately slowing down during the second safety car period. This resulted in a crash between Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber.

Hamilton said to the reporters at Shanghai: "I had a good weekend, I didn't put a foot wrong. I didn't do anything to put anyone else in danger.

"I've come away to China and all of a sudden I'm going to be punished for something. I just think it's a real shame for the sport. Formula One is supposed to be about hard, fair competition. That's what I've tried to do this year, just be fair."
