Hamilton wants explanation from McLaren

By on

Lewis Hamilton claimed to the British press after the qualifying session of the Hungarian Grand Prix that he is not angry with the team or Fernando Alonso but that he wants a good explanation from the team what went wrong.

Lewis Hamilton "It definitely needs a good explanation. I really don't understand why I was held back. I guess you should ask the team, and I definitely will do when I go back and have the debrief. Nothing was said to me on the radio. I was obviously told on the way in Fernando was doing his stop and that I should back off so I didn't have to queue. That's what I did, so I saved time coming round the last corner and into the pits, but for some reason he was just held there.

Your guess is as good as mine as to why he was there. His wheels were on, his blankets were off and yet he was told to wait. I probably lost at least half a minute coming in off the previous lap and then waiting behind Fernando.

I'm not angry. I'm curious as to what's gone on. I find it quite interesting and amusing, so I'm not really mad to be honest. I think the team have been extremely fair, at least ever since Monaco."
