McLaren's sporting director Dave Ryan has been suspended after 35 years with McLaren for instructing Lewis Hamilton to ‘withhold information’.Lewis said at a press conference “I'm not a liar or a dishonest person," he went on to say how it was "definitely the worst thing I've experienced in my life".
Hamilton continued "I could not tell you how sorry I am for the embarrassment, I sincerely apologise to the race stewards for wasting their time and making them look silly. When I went into the meeting, I had no intention (to lie). I just wanted to tell my story and see what happened. I was misled and that's just how it went. I want to say sorry to all my fans. I am not a liar or a dishonest person, I am a team player. If the team ask me to do something, I generally do it. But I felt awkward and uncomfortable. This is not an easy thing to do, to step back and realise I was in the wrong. But I was in the wrong, I was misled."
So Hamilton was asked to lie in front of the stewards. He went in and lied in front of the stewards. So I ask the question; “How is he not a liar and dishonest to do this?”
It doesn’t matter if he is told by the team to do this he should know better. I think this shows how much Hamilton is a product of McLaren and how much they control him. It also shows Hamilton is pretty devoid of scruples or common sense. While at this point in his life he can pull the ‘young, inexperienced and influenced’ card he won’t be able to do it any longer. He should simply know better! No doubt his card is marked now by the FIA too. Also I’m sure the Queen is happy she honoured a liar.
