    You said it's interfering... I'd like to know how you conclude it's interfering.

    Sorry for taking so long to answer.
    No problem with the unlapping, perfectly ok.
    When interviewed after the race, Hamilton was asked if it was his intention to basically get in the
    way of SV and he just grinned. Why didn’t he have a go at FA? One can only surmise he was just
    trying to trip SV up.
    Now I’m no Hamilton fan, in fact I’m not a Macca fan period. I’m not slating Hamilton, don’t believe
    in that kind of crap (may upset the fan boys) but at the end of the day, that is my take on it.
    I know that may not go down well, but hey, that’s just my opinion + his attitude when interviewed.

    Thanks for replying.

    Once past Vettel, he didn't slow down and hold up Vettel so that Button could catch up, he did try to take on Alonso. Alonso raced Hamilton and rightly tried to keep him as a buffer.

    This is racing... Vettel didn't want him past, but he got past. Alonso liked him as a buffer so also raced him. Both Vettel and Alonso could have chosen not to race Hamilton as he was too far back to likely threaten them, however they both chose to race him.

    Had he got past Vettel and then backed Vettel up in to Button, I would be agreeing that he interfered and also feel that he'd be worthy of some kind of punishment, but that's not what happened... He just wanted back on the lead lap.

    Seb lost a second when Lewis was in front chucking dirty air in his way, that second would of kept Seb in front of Jenson when he was coming out of the pits.

    He slowed down Seb as you can see the lap times for yourself.

    Taking one for the team, good to see he can be a team player when he knows he can achieve nothing for himself in said race <whistle>

    That's not interfering, that is racing. I don't see the complaint.
