This thread has been a phenomenally interesting read. Can't quote everything I'd like to so I'll just say my piece.
My opinion is that McLaren were well out of order and I feel like kicking Mr Ryan for putting the team in this situation. After listening to the radio transmission etc it is obvious that Lewis clearly wanted to have things done by the book. Afterwards, he gave an inteview where he openly admitted what had happened as he felt that he had done nothing wrong. I believe that if the truth had been told from the off, that McLaren would have been awarded third place and Trulli given fourth..........as it should have been. The decision (and that's what it was..........an informed choice)to withold information was stupidity at it's best.
Lewis............wrongly or rightly, did what he was told to do.......by his superior. And let's face it, if you were in his position, would you have not done the same (and lets all be honest and jump down from our moral soapbox). Having said that, we all (well some people at least...........and you know who you are) seem to forget that this sort of thing happens all of the time in F1 it is just fortunate for some that they don't get caught!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Truth be told the hypocrisy shown by some on here is outrageous and I for one can't believe the houlier than thou attitude from those that support 'them' that have done things that are just as stupid and underhand (if not more so)

I actually feel sorry for Lewis for being put in this situation and I sincerely hope that it doesn't compromise his relationship with McLaren. Lewis should have stood by his word, but he didn't. He was told what to say by his employers and he did as was told. he is human and we all make mistakes...........thank god we're not all burned at the stake for it as I for one wouldn't be here to have my say

Sorry for the rant............I'm not a huge poster but felt I had to comment before I exploded
