Gascoyne not impressed by hand gestures Hamilton
Force India's Mike Gascoyne declared that he was not impressed by Lewis Hamilton's hand gestures towards Giancarlo Fisichella as Hamilton was trying to pass the Roman driver for position. Hamilton was spotted making the same gestures towards Takuma Sato when he was trying to overtake the Super Aguri car.
Mike Gascoyne was quoted by the Swiss magazine 'Motorsport Aktuell': “I don’t know why he did that. Fisichella was fighting him for position and he can’t just expect to be let past. The gesture was totally unnecessary so it was especially good to be in front of him at the end!”
Lewis Hamilton had a poor start and after a collision with former team mate Fernando Alonso, the Briton had to fight his way back from the back of the pack. The McLaren driver finished the Bahrain Grand Prix in 13th position, 1 place behind Giancarlo Fisichella in his VJM-01.
