When you were in that situation, were you the number 1 man in your field and the most valuable asset your employer had?
Let me make it blunt: Hamilton will do anything to get the best result he can. ANY MEANS NECESSARY
When you were in that situation, were you the number 1 man in your field and the most valuable asset your employer had?
Possibly?
To be honest things need to change, the team I support completely without wavering dedication seem to be fighting battles they shouldn't need to fight damaging themselves and letting their fans down, this is not right! It's not right that fans should feel ashamed of the team that they support, but this is the case they deserve better and need better! These days it seems their motto is "Win at all costs" I think it is about time they realise that some costs are to high and that the ends do not always justify the means! These are dark times for McLaren and they need to find the light soon.

Really? Cos I gotta tell you mate, when you're the Lewis Hamilton of your field...You can do what you like and your employer can like it or lump it. What was Dave going to do? Sack the World Champion for refusing to cheat? Have Martin dock Lewis's paycheck for not being a team-player? Neither's going to happen and the latter's a pretty crummy deterrent anyway.

Yeh but hes a driver and there are people above him, that hes worked under for some time.
Also how's the rest of the team going to react if they find out that he showed up Ryan?

I can't agree with that. McLaren were wrong in the spy scandal and were wrong last weekend, but you need to look at the whole picture. Spying and not telling the full story has always gone on in Formula One. I'm not saying it's right, but that's the way it is. McLaren are really just the first team to get done for it, in this instance in a completely avoidable moment of madness.

I wouldn't say that a Racing Director is "above" the Star Driver in any meaningful sense. Maybe officially
As for how the team would react...I'd have to hope they'd be horrified their man decided of his own accord to lie to the FiA and tried to con Lewis into it too (Which is highly implausible by the way). "Showing him up" is a completely minor concern compared to knowingly and willingly lying to the FiA

Some people seem to be basing their views on the story that Hamilton was 'mislead'. Anybody who doesn't think that sounds slightly suspicious needs a reality check.
Well what do you think Happened? like i've said i'm not sure but i can understand him being pressured into it, if that was the case
Hamilton's shown throughout his racing career he is extremely competative and will do anything to get the best result for himself. On top of that, he's a grown, mature man. I really do not find it convincing, therefore, that Hamilton was 'mislead' like a lamb by Ryan. Although it's only my opinion and not a proven fact, it seems more likely that this plan was concocted by the two of them somehow, borne out of frustration with the unclear regulations, botched communication between the pitwall and Hamilton and the inability to get in touch with race control. After the scandal emerged, McLaren stuck to their usual policy of protecting their drivers no matter what and took the blame on themselves. The team had to be seen to be taking the matter seriously by the FIA, so Ryan was singled out as the instigator of the lie.
Aye.

A grown mature man?? He's 24 years old!! I feel desperately sorry for Ryan here and dont believe he thought it through , he was trying to right a wrong that was partly his fault. But he was he employer here and by way the most experienced. Lewis should have stood up to him and he sure as hell knows that now. Are you suggestuing this was Lewis' idea?? Why did he tell one thing to the press and then change it? If he had decided to lie on his own he would have done so from the outset. His mistake was in not standing up for his convictions.
Aye.
Well "aye" to what? I said lots of things.
