racecub, having trawled the net for articles, they all support the idea that Lewis could have gone if that was what he wanted - "However, it is understood McLaren have no problem with Hamilton stepping in if that is what he wants".
Must have changed his mind and not let you know.

Jen Yes he could have gone, if he'd paid his own way. Not exactly a way to welcome a drivers desire to get 'involved'. He didnt 'change his mind and not let me know'. He wanted to be involved, was told 'no, the testers are doing it' and then reluctantly that he could go if he paid.
gethinceri Well I guess he could have said " I drive for myself"

If Hamilton really wanted to go, he could have - he ain't short of a bob or two and in my world conviction is quite often expensive. So, he either decided it wasn't worth the effort and wouldn't learn much extra from it or he couldn't afford the expense of getting a good grip on the car that might or might not make him 2012 WDC. Either way it was HIS choice.
So, I am now thinking of giving up unless you come out with some other spurious claim. There is no arguing with the obsessed.

A bugger indeed. Especially these parts.........
"Hamilton and the team made the decision to use the old wing after struggling in Saturday morning practice, believing that it would be faster in qualifying.
Hamilton said.
"I was told the difference in wings was not so great, so it is definitely a surprise. I was told that in qualifying my wing would be quicker but for some reason it wasn't.

Jenson in the Sunday Times. "Sunday's have been good over the last few years, but Saturdays have not gone perfectly. I have a style which makes it difficult to make the car work in qualifying but, when it does, I get pole"
So jens, you've found it difficult to make the car work in quali for THREE YEARS!!! And now that its 'worked', you better be very glad Lewis didnt have the same car or you still wouldnt be on pole.

Loyalty? he's been at that team longer than anyone else on the grid has been at a team(I think). Perhaps he's looking for a little in return. Fed up of taking it lying down. I prefer a feisty lewis to a 'roll over and let the team walk all over me' lewis. If the team didnt tell Lewis how good that wing was likely to be I can imagine his anger.Well now lewis knows, he found out the hard way, I dont blame him for tweeting it.
