‘McLaren wrecked drive of my life’
|
| A clearly-livid Lewis Hamilton has vowed to “find out” who made the fateful pit-call that cost him a podium finish in Australia. |
Hamilton had produced a storming drive to close in on second-placed Robert Kubica when he was called in for a second pit-stop that none of the frontrunners, other than Mark Webber, made. |
The stop saw him plummet in the running order and although he was able to catch Fernando Alonso he was heard to decry the “terrible decision” to change tyres as he struggled to pass the Ferrari. To compound Hamilton’s annoyance, he was then punted off the track by an over-eager Mark Webber and ended up in just sixth. |
Afterwards, despite the presence of Matt Bishop, McLaren’s communications director, his fury was clearly close to boiling over.
|
“I’m happy with the job I did,” he said pointedly. “That was one of the drives of my life. I was put back [in the order] due to others. I deserved better.
